Part number for hoppers ones. Part number is BQ40A. Just double check there the right ones havent recieved mine yet. Got all my booster/ master bolted up, had to use an Na bracket drilled out about 2cm closer the the bracket but fited up okay. Waiting for line adapters & will be all done. Cant wait to see what shes got now.

pinch a set of front brake lines fron a VN up car instead of the adapters as then all 4 flares are matching the VT gear, just 1 adapter for the rear

Installed/bleed on a VK from last weekend, went for a run, it does improves and better response on brake pedal. $66 is a bit dear! hoppers quoted me $8 each plus $5 postage. replacing the lines with a later model is a bit difficult when u have an engine to weave around and with them being steel they can be easily stressed. I think getting them re-flared would hav to be the best option

Yea I wasnt going to pay $66 for them unless I had to. But hoppers seems to be the go. I mean you mass produce a threaded adapter & want to charge $20 each piece its a bit rich. When pirtek etc would sell a similar style hydraulic fitting for bugger all.

Rear brake line can also be used, but it'd probably be all wrong for the chassis. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yea I think if you were going to goto the effort to pull your brake lines out, you may as well just take them to a shop to get the flares changed. But with the sensitivity of removing old brake lines from chassis mounts. Stuff that when adapters can be had for under $40.

does anyone know what size the adaptors are to use the standard vl fittings on the vt master? cheers

i hav some info and pics on how to adapt the vt booster. I can email but cant upload pic atm cos internet is slow. mite upload another day. Pm or email [email removed]

kenny - i sent you a PM - i can help with the posting of pics dude.

internets a bit faster today so i'll post these up. cut out some 12mm plate. drill 10mm holes 60 x 80. blow out a 2inch hole in the centre (http://imageshack.us) (http://g.imageshack.us/img206/dscf0336ub4.jpg/1/) cut down the studs leave about 10mm potruding (http://imageshack.us) (http://g.imageshack.us/img206/dscf0338um7.jpg/1/) weld the plate to wots left of the studs. u dont wanna penetrate to much heat just a moderate tack is good enough (http://imageshack.us) (http://g.imageshack.us/img241/dscf0340iu3.jpg/1/) drill a few extra holes in the vl bracket to allow for spot weld. tack it to the plate. dummy fit the booster before u fully weld it, make sure the brake fluid resovoir is gonna be perpendicular. I had a spare booster that i refered to to put the bracket in the correct location. the bracket is pretty much parrellel to the plate (http://imageshack.us) (http://g.imageshack.us/img359/dscf0342si8.jpg/1/) when you've got it right complete your spot welds (http://imageshack.us) (http://g.imageshack.us/img359/dscf0343bw8.jpg/1/) by using the plate theres no need to drill holes in the pushrod. I wouldn't use plate any thicker than 12mm as it would make it harder to fit. the pedal should sit at the correct height however if it is still too high you can put a couple of washers on the 2 studs going into the firewall if you have to. the booster is a tight fit but it WILL go in WITHOUT any panelbeating. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

kenny, thank you.

Wow I wish I had those pictures a few weeks ago when I put the vs booster in.

well it still stops good but i have a disc rear lined up soon to go in, that if i finish building it

So what happens if the welds break

Well the welds are just to hold the booster into place.. If you get it welded properly I wouldn't expect it to happen.

welds wont break if u know how to weld. one thing i have noticed is that the firewall flexes when you apply the brake. so im gonna drill new holes in the vl master cyl/strut tower bracket to help support it. i'll throw a pic up when its done

What’s the deal with the VS Master Cylinder Reservoir, the hole doesn’t line up as a lot of others have mentioned in this thread but in the first post it says to use VS Reservoir?

You have to be joking...never trust a single weld to keep it all secure....use jimbos page as a guide and you bend your old bracket and weld it to another flat fabricated bracket ...you could even use the 10mm bracket but this setup doesnt depend on one single weld for strength and uses the original studs and nuts for strength like it was designed.... any weld just keeps everything together so it bolts up......use this site http://users.bigpond.net.au/jimbo123/VN/ under mods as a guide. its for a vn but the setup is the same for previous models like a vl

If i get the VN up front brake lines, can I still use the braided hoses that I got? If not then I'll just get the VL ones re-flared
