front disc brake install

[tommylg]

I have all the drum brake parts and the four hard lines and 2 hoses removed.

I am referencing TheSamba and Rob and Dave's to guide me thru this.

I have a couple of questions.
Does the line from the hose for the disc brakes take the same form as on the drum brakes?
The new line from the t-connector to the right caliper is 40". However the original line is +- 32". How do I loop or route the new line to take up the difference?

Are these correct speed bleeders:

This will be an interesting day and thank you,
Tommy

I think it is a step by step install.

Good luck!

To try to answer your first question, I just did this conversion on a 74 standard bug and used the original line to the right side with a new flex hose to the caliper. There seemed to be no need for a longer hard line there and I do not think you would want to loop it. I have used those self bleeders on an S10 truck I have and they worked well. On the bugs I like to use the mitey vac vacuum bleeder as it also is a one man operation with no pedal pumping needed. Good luck-Bob
