What was your vacuum number before? Good idea on the gauge, I like that.

How do you hold down the batteries with the aluminum trays?

5"hg at highway speeds and 0 when on the brakes. I never took the time to swap it over!

I have yet to drill holes in the sides whe I bent the aluminum up, but I have the original hold downs and studs to go in there. They stay in place pretty well considering before the driver side was only on the fender at almost a 30° angle. The cables hold them well too!

Changed the front left during the kids' nap time after waxing the passenger side. PMF suspension line went in easy, just had to modify the stock bracket with a die grinder. Will report back once they're in and bled.

Okay, got them all installed. @1mouse3 had recommended the PMF, and they don't dissapoint. Build quality is excellent, install on the fronts was easy.

The rear was a pain. I had to remove the load proportioning valve as the kit did not include the proper line. If it were the two fronts and a rear with the same square connection, it would have worked. But it just had the female end for a flare fitting. The oem flare was also too big so went to the store today and grabbed the correct size.

I kept the bracket and used the e brake line clamp to hold the braided line in place. Pics to follow.

Finally got around to repairing my water temp gauge, wire was cut at firewall. Also removed my broken arm rest and made a set of blackwalnut ones. Went thick to give me a good amount to grab and make me slouch less. Beats having a rusty screw poking my elbow.
