Guest cbarranco Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 i was wondering if anyone could post some pictures of their brake system on their mid to late 20's chryslers. I have all new copper lines and flex hoses installed, just having a hard time figuring out what/where/how the actual pedal/master cylinder which has two threaded outlets (top and drivers side) connect to the T fitting on the crossmember under the cab. Im guessing it has to have some sort of brake fluid reservoir. Ill post some pics of what I'm talking about. any help would be appreciated, thanks, Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 There are two tees one mounts on the center of the cross member just behind the battery box. The other mounts on the inside of the right frame rail just in front of the cross member. The reservoir connects to the top of the master cylinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cbarranco Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 that first picture explains it all, thanks a million. can you show a picture of your carb set up? i am building this truck and have everything i need and more in boxes with about 100 kodak pictures, only thing is the guy took it apart in 1982 and is no longer around. I'm more of a body guy then a mechanic. Would you mind if time to time i asked you to send me some pictures for my assembly process?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vintage Vic Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 What fluid to use, DOT 3,4 or 5?? I understand 5 is Silicone and system must be completely clean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have always used DOT 3, maybe 4 will work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 DOT 4 is common on motorcycles as they can generate a lot more heat in braking. Some DOT 4 brands claim to be less hydorscopic. Of course it costs more than DOT 3, especially if you get it at a motorcycle shop.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
