Thread: '37 Oze build

Tweet

I have part number 140-7140-DR on the rear and 140-10742-D on the front. Oze supplies pinto/mustang II spindles and that's what I used.

You may have read that I'm unimpressed with the braking power from the 1" corvette style master and 7" dual diaphragm booster. I'm getting ready to change to a Wilwood 7/8" master and an 8" dual diaphragm booster. The larger booster will barely fit and won't hang down any lower than the transmission oil pan. The ground clearance on my car is just a hair less than my new Corvette. The engine sits really low. I'm also considering installing a proportioning valve for both the front and rear circuits. I have one at the rear now, but it's running wide open, with no restriction, which would suggest that a valve is needed on the front, to allow more rear braking, before the front locks up.

Also, don't bother with a Lokar or similar parking brake lever. It won't work well at all - not nearly enough leverage. I went with an e-stopp electric parking brake actuator that puts out 600 lbs of pull, after removing my Lokar setup.
