Green Jeep Brakes (sorry dial up guys)

    Got my brakes pretty much done on green jeep. Still need to put the new parts on the rear when I rebuild the diff. That is nothing more than a simple brake job.

    I put 6 bolt calipers with all new brake parts on the front end. Originally I was going to put all new brake lines but my current time crunch dictated only replacing what I had to.

    This is my first time with double flares. I think I got pretty good at it by the time I was done. Someone pointed out that the chamfer around the cuts was key to a good flare. I agree, the better they were chamfered the better the flare was.

    I did the coils around a piece of pipe. I was going to build a bender for it, but again, the time crunch thing. I didn't collapse any of the bends. I did have a bender that would do about 80*.

    I used a master cyl for a 78 CJ with disks. Very happy with how it came out. One more bleed when I do the rears and a willwood proporting valve for the rear when time allows.
