Small amount of progress

Bought a 9" off a member here that wasnt set-up for a torque arm. I added a torue arm bracket, arb, brake line and lcarb brackets to it. I needed brakes and as much as it is over kill at this time (if I go turbo down the road Im already set) I added dual caliper strange rear brakes that I purchased at a VERY good price. Cleaned inspected everything and topped off with shock proof fluid. Sold a few items on here to soften the hit to my wallet and went on to purchase the trz arb/ panhard combo awesome unit. Now on to safety need a cage bad and some times! Thought id share my excitement lol. Having issues getting the photos from my phone to photo bucket I will get a few on here soon.

Re: Small amount of progress

Looks like a Currie torque arm mount. Looks nice and beefy.

How are the calipers plumbed on a side? Single line to a Tee fitting feeding both caliper with separate bleed screws or single line to one caliper then a hose connecting from the bleed screw to the inlet on the other?

It wouldn't take much for me to redesign my caliper mounts to add a second caliper but right now I don't need it.

It's the new moser bracket very heavy! Yes they're teed and if you make a bracket put the calipers front and back. Bleeding the top caliper was a pita.
