Hood pin install + rear brakes

Well today was pretty much a total waste of time. The exhaust did not fit and will require modification and there is a leaking seal under the brake reservoir.

What I did manage to get done is below:

Took the old rear brake line off and replaced with the braided stainless.



Once that was on I carefully reinstalled the pads and calipers



Shot of the fronts since I didnt take one yesterday


Rear wheel on, just need to fix the leak now.


I originally bought a 4" one but it was too short. Here's the Moroso 5" hood pin kit from Summit
Also believe it or not there's a great writeup on how to do this on the mustang forums



First a place to mount them was located, tn a small hole was drilled... then a bigger one.



Next I put a small dab of wax on the tip of the pin to see where to drill the other hole.



Taping up around where the 2nd hole will be



holes were still a bit tight they were drilled out again



Since the hood is on a slant the scuff plates had to be expanded as well
...on this professionally made expanding plank



Then it was just a matter of putting on the cables



2 bloody knuckles later and its done
