63 Bel Air front discs

[Van B]

I ordered a front disc brake kit, 5564 DBK through Speedway Motors. They gave no indication on what the best way to plumb brake lines, nor did they offer to sell me a brake line kit. (I asked). I am converting from 4 wheel manual drums so the lines are all in series from left front to right front to rear.

What is the best way to plumb the lines? Who offers a kit to accomplish this?

If you are running power disc we offer a line kit #5864FLK-OM that will set you up.

I ordered the brake lines from you yesterday and didn't think to ask if you supply plugs to block off the ports in the junction blocks that will go unused.

[CPPAaron]

Its only 1 port that needs to be plugged with a 1/4" plug. That is not included. I can add one to your order?

[Van B]

I would have thought it would be the both of the ports that used to go to the front wheels that would have to be blocked.

[CPPAaron]

no, the front drivers side hard line runs direct to the hose and the junction block is taken out on that side.

Banjo fittings are leaking. How tight should I be torquing them? I have them at 25 ft/lb and don't dare go tighter. This stuff always happens on the weekend.

[CPPAaron]

40-45ft/lbs on a new set of washers. dont be afraid of snapping the bolt. It will be fine at that torque value.

I had found somewhere 32 was the number and I put them to that and they seem to have stopped leaking. I will snug them up a little more now. I should be driving tomorrow!

Thanks Aaron for all of your help...on a weekend no less. Awesome service!
