Disk Brake

I’m in the middle of a Hydrastar disk brake conversion. The kit came packaged in the poorest condition known to mankind. The damaged parts were promptly replaced so that worked ok. The manual (also damaged) lacks by far as others have noted. One thing, you get the bare bones for brake line installation. Every single video I’ve watched showed miles of coiled up brake lines crossing under the coroplast or laying on top of it. I can’t believe the mechanics showed their faces. Good luck with future maintenance involving the removal of coroplast. Anyway, the actuator and most of the brake lines are in. Next is replacing all the spring bushings and wet bolts. Then the calipers and the last of the brake lines. Hopefully the braking performance will overshadow the birthing process.
