d.p Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Fuck me thanks guys. I can do all that but not sure where or how to attach clips? I guess I can look for ones that mount with a nut/bolt and see if I can a place close to lint them? Matt I already bought a flaring tool: Quote Link to comment

Seeing as I had a problem with beebani’s and his was fully welded who the fuck knows. All this stuff is fly by night if you think about it. And sorry to say DP his bracket didnt fail... your bolt fell out... That's your mistake... I have had mine on my truck for 5 years with zero issue and no loose bolts.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah man I didn't say it was his fault, and why that bolt backed out I have no idea, the other 3 didn't so who knows what happened. But there is a lot of hate for Beebani here and on the FB groups and I am not part of all that. I defend him for the most part and never said anything bad about him. 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Could do something similar to this: Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Yes, bracket is basically just a hole... as long as the thickness is correct then all you need is the clips which you could maybe just swipe off a junkyard vehicle if you can't find them new Quote Link to comment

I wish more people helped him with his designs more than criticized.. Even my 5link setup wasn't 100% correct but it was better than a universal kit.... only problem I had was the geometry of the links but I worked with what I had.... I bet it would have worked as he designed it but I took it a step further with stroffgren's guidance.... Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) I get my brake hardware from Pegasus Racing. Here are the clips that go into the slot on the rubber hose: https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=6278 You'll need a small square piece of steel with a hole in it large enough to Pass the rubber line through, and then snap the clip onto the back side. Maybe get some steel angle iron, and drill a big hole in one side, and a small bolt hole in the other side. On the other hand, you could also have Pegasus make you braided lines with bulkhead mounts on one end. It removes the clips, and allows you to bolt the brake line to the bracket. That’s what I did for my front lines: Edited April 29, 2022 by mainer311 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I just ordered this shiat: Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Like this but with a clip somewhere? Lines are short at 10” so wonder if that will be a problem. Doesn’t give me much room tow work with. Quote Link to comment

The dude sends out crappy/dangerously built/designed products and expects the buyer to do the testing/R&D. GTFO with that. I don't think you've heard all the stories. Maybe if he said sorry once in a while, and made things right when an issue arose, but I haven't heard of that. I like to see things built at least as well as something that would come from the factory. Not seeing it... 🤷♂️ Anyways, nothing personal and if you like his stuff that's all good...back to dp shenanigans 2 Quote Link to comment

d.p Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Got it man. Is there an easy trick to get these drums off? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Do your drums have two small threaded holes across from each other close to the lug nut circle? If yes you can screw in a 12mm bolt into both and slowly and evenly tighten. Fully retract the brake shoes using the adjuster first. The bolts bottom out against the axle end and pull the drum outward. If the shoes are not backed off properly it will tear out the anti rattle springs. The 521 may not have these but a lot of Datsuns do. Quote Link to comment
