Another thing that I forgot to mention was that the bracket that holds the soft-line to hard-line junction will not work in its original location. It normally mounts on the rear two bolts. I moved it to the front two bolts. The geometry is not quite the same, but it works if you sandwich the bracket between two nuts on the bottom bolt. I also had to use a longer bolt than stock here to do that. You should be able to see what I am talking about in one of these pictures.
One thing that I need still is a set of brake pad spring things from a set of 2liter Ate calipers. I am trying not to order a set of pins and springs for $23, or something, plus getting ripped off for shipping, only to throw away the pins. Particularly when I know that there has got to be tons of those things sitting around in peoples' jam jars doing nothing. Anybody want to help the cause?
Until then, I still need to do a bit of suspension work on the rest of the car, so I haven't bled the brakes yet. I realize that I may need to put a 115 rear brake bias valve thing on. I am also figuring that I may end up rebuilding the MC, too, before I get this whole thing settled. That's life, I guess.
I will throw in a picture of the final assembly, plus another with the wheel mounted. It gives the wheels a darker appearance when you can't see the aluminum drums through the holes IMO. Doesn't bother me, and I suspect that most people wouldn't notice.
Do you think that I should post the template that I used?
