    What are you going to go for the hand brake? I saw that Wilwood makes parking brake calipers and I was thinking about fitting one

      Honestly. Probably nothing.

      I keep debating wether or not I should just put one back in 😕

          You can get a locking hydro brake to act as a normal handbrake

            Yeah. K sport or whatever makes one that locks. The hydro I have doesn't lock. I have 6 different gears I can put it in to stop it from rolling away

                Ready for reinforcements! (Garagistic just released some more, so I may re visit the front subframe) but here they are ready to go 06e625ae05ba14e888e0bb03a8d50d85.jpg

                Also got the axles off the diff

                1985f0ed4047c984c16c55bcea17429f.jpg

                And had some stainless lines made today. Idea is to go right from the T where the main line comes to the union and run stainless all the way to the caliper82106213716caf161abd2346acabe51b.jpg

                Was under the car and 4' should be long enough. We'll see how it works

                  I know that braided lines have less flex than rubber but there's no way it is comparable to a solid line.  Any concern about a loss of braking power?

                    maybe. The way I look at it is I'm replacing about 20" of rubber with stainless & as for the remaining hardline.....one of my hardliners coming from the T was pinched flat....soooo hopefully it feels better after replacing it lol.

                    Side note: when installing my hydro many moons ago, I found a bunch of pics/threads were people would run stainless line from the hydro (mainly for looks in the cab) and didn't run into issues of being able to lock up the rear brakes.

                    I guess what I'm trying to say Pat is, I have no idea but I am definitely interested to find out haha

                      I like you answer lol.  I wish you had a more solid before comparison for an indefinite answer instead of a pinched line.

                          Garagistic is really good at releasing brand new shit a day after I place my order.

                          Reinforcement plate for the control arm/ball joint spot. I will probably end up buying it because I have all my shit out of the car already. And I'm a sucker, what can I say

                            Does that spot usually crack? I don't recall seeing anyone having issues at that point. You would think the control arm would break before that cracks lol

                              Exactly my thoughts. Maybe in extreme applications of rage drifting and or fuckery (AKA you crash into a curb) it would crack

                                  I welded in in reinforcements from akg to fix the torn bolt hole for the engine mount, my right side was ripped through. Seems like the ball joint mount is sturdy though.

                                    They will have a weld-in license plate mount reinforcement soon. My license plate mounts tore out during some intense Togue races last month in Kyoto
