Brake system upgrade for 89 Comanche

[comanche_chris]

ok, so I think its safe to say I'm ready to upgrade my brakes. My rotors are shot, calibers are dragging, pads are gone and my load sensing valve is zip tied up lol. I've decided to upgrade my braking system. I've been gathering some parts together for a couple of months now and up front I'm going to do the WJ knuckle swap for the dual piston calibers and I found a kit for a high steer setup. I'm using a dual-diaphragm brake booster and a newer master cylinder as well. For brake proportioning i got a Wilwood proportioning valve so i can adjust it for my liking. I noticed when i ordered the valve i would have to make some room for it and have to relocate my washer fluid tank so i ordered one that goes in the fender. It comes with a low washer fluid sensor so it looks like i have to wire that in too haha. For the rear braking its time to match up with front axle and swap in the D44 axle i had laying around. I already shaved all the brackets off and its ready to set in place and weld the perches. It also got loaded up with fresh new parts !!!!

That’s a bag full of parts . If your removing your 89 knuckles, post them up for sale. They are compatible with big brake setups and are nice upgrades for the 90+ knuckles. You can get the passenger side bracket for the Wilwood prop valve that fits well.

thanks, I noticed that had that too but i felt it was to close to the engine for my liking and when i realized i could make more room by moving the washer fluid tank i decided to go this route plus it would be easier for me to make my adjustments.

 

 

I didn't get the chance to finish plumbing the lines yet cause I need one union which I'll grab tomorrow at the store since everything closes here on Sunday.
