Nice work!!

I have done everything i can do with the 94s rear brakes .
They only work OK.
Just dont seem to get enough pressure / juice .
I blame the olden anti lock alum block , or the compression coupling ( not my doing ) mid way to the brakes.

REAL CLOSE to re routing the rear brake line direct , via an aftermarket adjustable proportioning valve and a new hard line all the way back . I know one doesnt want tooo much rear stoppie , but id like to have enough to get the drums nice n warm , which rarely happens .

One detail which has stopped me from just jumping in ,, the lil hard line on the master clnd is bigger ( unknown if it bubble or double flared ) than the line that goes to the rear . Hopefully thats not a deal breaker .
IF anyone has done this , please share details .
thank you

Drum brakes are dumb. I know I know, they’re better, they’re still dumb. They’ll soon be a thing of the past. I’ve scoured my area for someone that will turn drums with no luck, and the Chinese shat that new drums are made of are shaped like an egg.

I recently picked up a D80 disc setup with LSD for 150 bucks. Needs a pinion seal, calipers, rotors, and e-brake equipment. I’m looking forward to getting rid of the drums.
You might have to change the prop valve or the master clynd ( not sure ), there are hydraulic design differences between drums and disk calipers and have no parking brake.
EDIT : Sorry GAmes covered this . my bad.
