what wall tubing?

[Lycaon]

winter preparedness is kicking up, got the tubing thats been sitting in my garage for 2 years cut up and welded onto the box rockers the other day




also popped in a "new" starter off the parts truck, no more click-click-click-click of the shitty solenoid

installed 2 door seat hinges on my lowback xj classic seats so now i have some extra storage forward if i need it.

pretty sure i still havent got 100% of the air out, getting very close though. definitely better than it was with the old calipers. i think my problem is that because the rear calipers arent oriented in the same fashion as the stock monte carlo setup(even though the bleeders are facing in a general upward manner) there's air getting trapped above the bleeder screw within the caliper. just enough to make it... off.

another possibility is that theres not enough residual pressure in the system to actuate the brakes at the top of the pedal, to remedy this there are 2lb resdual valves available from the same company i got my conversion kit from which should bring the pedal back up to spec if the first method doesnt work

thoughts?

xj had its first few drives this past weekend on the new reggy, first time in months its been out on the road. and in addition to the rear drivers eldo caliper being frozen for a long time, my front drivers WJ caliper decided it wanted to lock up too, so im driving around universal drive in north haven with only my passenger side brakes functioning and the front lh wheel making quite the smokeshow... so i went out and got both new wj calipers and pads under warranty and bought a new set of monte carlo calipers to replace the rusted busted eldo calipers, painted em up and baked them, popped em on, pulled out my ebrake cables, now i just gotta finish bleeding them after work and ill have fully functioning brakes on all four corners for the first time in over a year

oh and a new optima yellowtop ftw
