The old bracket for the hard line to the caliper looks to be extraneous, I presume there is no chance of the new line contacting the bracket?
Looks like a nice set up. Congrats.
Yes, it is no longer required. I considered removing them, however if I ever wanted to return to stock, that would be needed. It also does not come close to the new hose. Also, the struts are absolutely mint for 48 year old parts. I couldn't bring myself to cut it off
Got the brakes bled, then worked on the fender liners & the wheel well coating.
Did some plastic weld repairs to the cracks around the mount points
Added closed cell foam to the inner rear panels, they are not exactly a snug fit by any means
added a foam lip for the main panels, they also don't seal against the fender as supplied. I looked for an EPDM lip, but the ones I have are too bulky. I've since found one online, so I'll revisit that when I remove the fenders in the future
reinforced the forward sections with plastic washers. Also using Volvo M6 hardware with large heads, to spread the load
Shouldered hardware - prevents crushing the liner
Scrubbed the wheel arches with a wire brush, then prepped the undercoat with lacquer thinners to help the Rocker Shutz adhere
wait 45 mins then apply undercoat
Put the Konig on to find that the backside of the hub doesn't clear the Toyota S12 calipers. Had to add a 1/8" spacer to each side
