July 28, 20177 yr Author comment_526792 Yes, I will be getting a 15/16 280ZX master, probably from Arizona Z Car with the brake order. I am leaving the old 7/8 cylinder on there now for safety sake. No need to let dirt and dust in.

August 1, 20177 yr Author Popular Post comment_527177 So the purists may not like this, but I wanted something unique. The bare lines are for brake fluid, the red lines are for fuel and the black line is vapour return. This was a huge pain in the butt to get lines bent and shaped just right. Flaring was a cinch (thanks Chris!) but the heavy lines were a chore. Just the engine bay, clutch and front brakes to make up and then the lines are complete.

August 2, 20177 yr Author comment_527193 Thanks everyone! I found a really nice metallic red that matches the anodized AN fittings in the engine compartment. The brake hats and coilover suspension all match the same red too.

August 2, 20177 yr comment_527201 'Please put down your HVLP gun and step away from the rotisserie with your hands held in sight.' p.s. Where is your brake proportioning valve?

August 2, 20177 yr Author comment_527204 , the stock valve is in the engine compartment. I will probably add the wilwood model there too and run it wide open just to have it in place if needed.
