I have my H/O converted over to the S-10 spindles/brakes. On Saturday night, pulled into a parking lot, and the brake pedal hit the floor. Luckily it was there, and not many other places I had been tonight with traffic on the roads.
At first I thought I had a brake hose fail... however, the banjo fitting came loose on me. I am using stock G-body Russell hoses with the conversion.
Here is how the hoses are routed:
The suspension is in full droop in this picture, so at ride height, the hose bend isn't as extreme.
I'm not sure if I should switch to a different hose style (I think Earl's makes some with square ends), route them differently, or put a pin/screw into the caliper and safety wire the hose end so it can't rotate. Anybody else ever have any issues like this?
