LSPV delete Correct Return lines?

Most times when I do the LSPV delete all the brake lines are being replaced.

I do forget people live in areas that might be able to use the brake lines again.

 

Lol, I forget other people have rust issues!

 

That is just crazy Lance
The only thing I can compare is I found a front caliper piston WAS the brake pad stopping the rotor
Bought that Mazda B2000 for $100!

Thankfully, no real rust concerns here in TX

 

BTW
I traced return line from LSVP
Found the T on L frame rail
2 inches away from another T fitting on same rail

I’m currently thinking what is best order to unconnected which brake lines
And
Making a bracket for the P valve

keep everybody posted

 

Update
Traced lines….3 times…..found return line
I was too pissed/embarrassed to post last weekend
I stripped the return line plug to the T connection bolted to the front L frame rail. Where the (deleted) hard return line goes
The whole cul de sac heard my cursing
MC ran dry
Cuts on my hands were soaked with caustic brake cleaner
Really good time.

backed off
Found this from Oriellys

 

I really wanted an elbow
But
The two T fittings are welded to bracket
Went to one of my boat shops
Mechanic owner showed me similar fitting on his race boat….that they got from auto parts store

this is result:

 

Here is hanging return line:

 

I was A.D.D. About letting MC run dry
So added fluid after the brake line union installed

rear portion valve/new soft line/added hard line installed too
But will wait to post

friend of mine(owner of a off road shop)
Was going to do me a favor with 16inch tire purchase
He wants/demanded to put a lift on the Taco……..for free.
I dunno
Remember, you guys……I’m wrenching on this for the 15yr old kid(not my truck per say)

100% this will NOT be some 10inch lift and 34’s
Bc of fragile/discontinued 5 lug set up, having second thoughts (and 2.4L)
Owner says will not be a problem

3inch???

owner of shop buys $1600 of tires every week X 5 for BIG 4X4’s vehicles
Shit ton of lift parts too
He knows the business

He heard the story about for my Son…and said NP don’t worry about $$

just will keep low profile here(on this thread) and see what you guys say
Thanks

 

Like I stated
I HATE bleeding brakes
Seriously, 2.5hrs with lil hand pump(tht broke BTW…..10min to fix that issue)

But wow
What a freakin difference
I now got 4 tires skidding/stopping!
Still messing with portion valve setting though

I’m 100% convinced that my LSVP plain out failed, only front brake bias present before the delete.

post pix of rear later
Plz don’t crack on me too hard on my fab’d bracket and use of the shortest Subaru brake line I had in attic!

 

Glad this is done!

 

Took 2 more test drives for lock up brake test
I got all 4 corners skidding same time
Did have leak at proportion valve
Both adapters needed a lil more torque

job done
Thanks to all that helped

on to next project

 

That's some janky work right there. Clean it up and make it look half decent IMO.
