Re: [gremlintime] Disc Brakes--when did they get them?

[O2BAGPz@xxxx]

I am a recent subscriber to Gremlintime. While I can't say for sure that the 
pieces you have already aquired from a spirit will work on your Gremlin 
common sense says probably. I do however have quite a bit of experience with 
Hydraulics and disc brake conversions in general. You would be best off with 
the powerbrake booster/master cylinder assembly in total from the Spirit as 
well as the parts you already have. Also check the diameter of the Spirit 
rear wheel cylinders vs the Gremlin ones. While you are at the conversion 
consider replacing the brake hose at the rear differential if it has not 
already been done. Remember that cleanliness is absolutely essential with the 
hydraulic system. De-natured alcohol is the best substance I've found as it 
leaves no residue. It can degrade rubber components however so consider 
rebuilding any components that require more than just an external wash. 
Crocus Cloth should be used instead of Emery Cloth or Sandpaper. Any 
component that requires rebuilding should have its piston to bore clearance 
checked. A small piece of brass shim stock .005" thick should not fit between 
the bore of the device and its piston. Hope this is of some help.
