Farm Spec G60 Brakes

Post by G60michael »

Hi everyone, with the new diff in the 77 ute, and going good, I need to get some brakes into the ute, I don't want to hook up front breaks, as I feel the wheel cylinders in neils diff would probably seize up as its been sitting for a lot of years, the back ones are probably still ok, so is there a way I can get just rear breaks to work, I know it wont be as good as all 4 brakes, but it will still pull it up, just not as quick, and the handbrake doesn't work.

Your rear brake are only 25 to 33 percent of your stopping power, and that's if they are in top condition.

Since this is a '77 you have the dual brake master cylinder. All you would need to do is to disconnect the line for the front brakes and plug off the hole in the master. But I strongly recommend against it. :naughty:
