finally installed the brakes i bought last spring. with the exception to the brake lines and a couple fittings, everything was already here. this all could be done in a day if everything is there. i think i had more time at parts stores than actual work. half way threw, i found i needed a couple fittings that didnt exist in all of western pa. so i got out the paint gun while i waited on the ups truck.] not sure anyone else would paint their drums yellow but i bet chris is thining about it now. i replaced all the lines, hoses, rear shoes, and cleaned up a few things while i was under there. i used a dual master and trans am rotors, calipers and brakes. i am very pleased with the results. not as good as power brakes but real close. in my opinion, there is no need for the added work and expense. m1's research to put this together is worth the asking price of the brackets. thanks micheal.

I take it that Proportning valve setup has the brake light switch built in?

John mine on the 69 are black, but the drums and rotors are red on the 64. Nice job on the brakes, the drums in the back being yellow look good with the rims

digz, that is a built in brake switch. i saw no reason to eliminate the original switch nor any reason to remove the new switch. chris, new you would like the paint. only regret is i wish i would of sandblasted outside.

had some yellow and white rustoleum, mixed it up and thinned it down to spray. had some clear left over from my car so i sprayed a coat of clear to protect them. $0.00 in total cost.
