RE: [Chrysler300] brake system rebuild question

["Henry Schleimer" <henry.schleimer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

 

I got my lines and fittings from Fedhill.  See http://www.fedhillusa.com/

 

The copper-nickel lines they sell are easier to form than stainless and are
tested to SAE standards.  Stainless can crack if worked too much.

 

For my 300C, I got rid of the distribution block and put a tee fitting in
the front line near the front cross member.

 

Regards

Subject: [Chrysler300] brake system rebuild question

 

  

Hi folks,

I'm finally getting around to swapping out all the brake lines on my 66 -
300 and changing from a single master to a dual line. (Yes, that's right
I've got 46 year old brake lines - talk about tempting death!)

I've got the new stainless lines from Fine Lines, but I had two other
questions for everyone, if I may. Thanks as always. You guys are great!

1) Does anyone know where I could get the rubber parts of the system? I'm
thinking specifically of the part of the brake system above the differential
that looks to be rubber. And of course any other parts I don't know about
yet? (I haven't gotten my hands dirty yet on this one, so not sure what's
what.)

2) Do you think I need to install a proportioning valve? Original system
didn't have one of course, and I'm not switching to disc brakes (the drums
have been great). 

3) Do I need a different distribution block for the lines from the MC? Just
trying to puzzle out in my head how the two systems are going to interact at
the distribution block.

Again, thanks a million! ...j
