DWR Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Does anyone have some detail photos or info they can share with me on wiring the braking stsyem on 70's funny cars? I am building a Jungle Jim Monza and specifically I am looking for how you plumb it from the lever on the right hand side to the calipers. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am building a Jungle Jim Monza and specifically I am looking for how you plumb it from the lever on the right hand side to the calipers. Thank you Try this: http://www.straightlinemodeler.org/snakepit.html FC and dragster brakes are pretty straightforward. The lever/handle is essentially the brake pedal. When pulled, the bottom pushes a rod forward that operates the master cylinder. A hard line runs to the front of the chassis where a "T" fitting feeds lines that run to each brake caliper.

straightliner1 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Hey Dan, the link doesn't work Hmmm...It just did for me. Try this, then: Go to http://www.straightlinemodeler.org and click the "Research" link. When you get to that page click on "Unraveling The Snake Pit". That'll get you there!
