Heat shrink is a nice touch. The next guy working on it will appreciate it! Nice daily driver. 🙂👍
The devils in the details as they say. Thanks for watching !
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much! Also, thank you for the pro tip with the heat shrink.
Thanks man and thanks for watching!
Clean and straightforward. You even took the time to rust proof your rivnut holes. Man after my own heart. Doin it right the 1st time!
In the long run it's better for everyone if you do! Thanks for watching
I gotta say that the best thing about you tube is how many you reach and teach excellence in attitude and execution, with caring and quality work and materials! I and others continue to learn good things we did not know!
Thanks man, that's what I'm shooting for! Thanks for watching.
Awesome work, straight to the point and no bulls**t, thanks heaps 👍
Thanks man!! And thanks for watching
@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 No wuckas, us Aussies need to give moral support to our Kiwi cousins👍
Nice work Kiwi, you really knocked it outta the park with this build.
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Kiwi,
Tim here, not that u really care, but those "riv-nuts" ur refering to are called Poly nuts......i used them extensivly in my job as a machine builder (constant motion assembly).....(feeders, and turrets)........anyhoo they are VERY useful in auto application......i have 4 of 'em holding my shifter i place........rather than fight the 4 bolts to hold the shifter in place.....and I 98% work alone, i used poly nuts.....that way i can remove the shifter, etc, easy, at anytime, and dont need a 2nd hand underneath holding the wrench or ratchet....POLY nuts are VERY useful!! Just thougbt i'd pass along nomenclature fun.....LOVE THE CHANEL!!!!......PEACE to you sir!!
Only problem I see, is them spinning when someone goes to remove the bolts. I'd do a tiny tack weld or two to hold them, and use anti-seize on the bolts.
Hey Tim,Napa call them poly nuts but I buy em as riv nuts. But hey tamayto tomato😁. Thanks for watching and glad your enjoying the channel!
They grab pretty good and tacking them isn't an option as they're an alloy not steel
@@DanEBoyd if installed correctly, they grab EXCELLENT as Kiwi said, no need for further ado......thanks guys!!
Nice job on the install mate, that looks like a very nice kit to use. I like the way you pay attention to all the little details like putting shrink wrap on the cable before you cut it. That Mustang's floor looks awesome underneath.
It is a nice kit and can be used with stock braking systems. Just takes a little creative thinking😁. It's how you do the things people can't usually see that determines the quality of the build. Thanks for watching!
1/4-20...The most popular nutsert in the World...very nice job, I like your style. Being a rust-belter, only thing I would add is lubricate the cable where she rides in the sheath & a touch of never seize on the set screws (Not that that Stang goin to ever see salt).
Doubtful it will see rain...
Excellent presentation.
Thanks man!
Great craftsmanship as usual. Like to full bird used to say son if you look right they probably won't notice it. But if you look wrong you are wrong and they're going to see it every time. And I was proud to serve under that man. Those definitely eagles on his shoulders and not old hens. The colonel definitely approved for your work. Very very very nice 👍
Cheers mate!!😀
Have not even tried my e brake on my ford yet. But there is fluid leaking out of two calipers right now. A good winter job
Yes indeed. What kind of calipers?
@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 it's a 78 f250 I bought last year. It's passenger side front brake is leaking from somewhere. And a rear drum has fluid coming out also. Was planing on building a garage this year and playing with the old truck with my son's when I get them on week ends. But lumber went through the roof so lots of stuff got put on the back burner including my truck and garage. But this winter I plan on blocking the old lady up and ripping into her. It is a lot of fun watching my boys struggle with the wrenches. Definitely makes me appreciate my dad's patience with me when I was breaking stuff and he had to watch.
When I cut the inner cable, I put it lightly in the vise and and fuse the ends together with the TIG welder. This keeps the ends from fraying when they are clamped in the block.
Nice and clean installation finished up. Kiwi really enjoy watching your videos
Thanks man, glad your enjoying them
Very clean. Nice, functional set up. Happy Wednesday everyone.
Cheers mate!
Love those riv nuts! Those and nycop brake lines are some of the best modern inventions that really make building cars much easier. That car is going to be a fun, safe car when it leaves your shop. Did I miss seeing Kev, or was he out picking up lunch.
Kiwi hasn't gone in to pay Kev's bail yet...teaching him a lesson 🤣
How did you know that??
Well Kev always looks a little flighty, never know what he's gonna get into.
@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 Reuters news feed...in between the Hurrican Ian and Russian sham referendum stories. I'm surprised the SWAT team didn't take him down on-the-spot after what he did
😊
You have to be a combination of OCD and creative to do custom car work. Some people just install parts and call it done. But not Kiwi. Your work is art. Thanks for showing us how it's done right
Thanks man, OCD can be a good thing in certain situations 😬
One more good thing about this system, if your cable stretches, just undo those four screws and take up the slack. Unlike a normal cable which you have to replace, if one is even available.
That's true!
Excellent work.
Cheers mate!
Nice job, and interesting to watch, not that I'd be doing the same any time soon. But I do wish more people would actually use their park brake. I cringe every time I see someone let their foot off the brake, and watch the car bounce hard against that tiny little park pawl in the transmission. 😫
I agree! When you actually see that pawl it's like "really, that's it????? " Thanks for watching!!
Absolutely love this channel Kiwi! Like going to hot rodding school 15 minutes a day!
Cheers mate. Glad your enjoying it!
Nice. Learned a new word today. Ribnut. When I was 8 my brothers n sisters would get me stoned or drunk and call me wingnut and I'd laugh until I'd cry.
Imagine if they knew of a rib nut.
What a way to grow up yah?
Lol, Rivnut not ribnut! I did hear that though, got a bit tongue twisted there. One day when I have an editing suite I'll be able to clean all that up, mean while it's just me unplugged😁
You do nice work. 👍
Thanks man!
The devil is in those details. Great job!
Thanks man!
Nice!
Cheers man
wilwood does make some quality gear :p
And it fits every time !
Thank you kiwi. 🍺🌄
Your welcome, thanks for watching !
Kiwi, at the start I wasn't sure if you said "Marry up" or "Maori up" lol YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN HAHAH
Ahhh yeah I do😁👍😎
Thank you for sharing this, my e brake doesn't work currently, getting ready to remove the original assembly and need to free it up. Question for you have you ever upgraded the windshield wiper motors on a 67 mustang? Mine is original and works but in all reality is totally useless. Thanks for your time keep up the great videos!
No I've never upgraded the wipers sorry. Plenty of stock stuff available though. Thanks for watching
when you cut cable and sparks fly need eye protection
My glass' seem to do a pretty good job. 🙂
I honestly need to push to get the front disc brakes and suspension on my Toronado. I'm waiting for the right 71-78 car to show up around here to transfer the front control arms, knuckles, and brakes. I don't think I need anything crazy. Most of the weights on the front and the all around drums get sketchy as they get warm.
That would be a great upgrade!! Wilwood probably have a kit to go on your drum spindles
@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 They do for the back. For the front brakes I'd need 71-78 Toronado / ElDorado, upper control arms, knuckles, and the basic brake setups. Fun fact from the 66-70 Oldsmobile Toronados / Cadillac ElDorados front discs were only custom order but very oddly the disc and hub assembly were one. So to change your front discs you'd need a new hub too!
@@kiwiclassicsandcustoms9160 On a last note. The small details you've showed about cars and what to watch out for (over multiple videos over your channel and Uncle Tony's) You helped me show my Grandmother in law the 65 Mustang convertible she was going to buy was a flip. She brought me along. The doors were really hard to open and you instantly popped in my head. Body gap on the door was horrible. Top of the door was being bent up from it sagging, touching the body. I looked underneath with my phone taking pictures and no torque boxes. I would have never known to look at those specific issues if it weren't for you. So I have you personally to thank for helping me talk my wife's grandma out of a flipper mustang haha.

In the mean time take a look at Muscle Car Brakes, they sell ceramic brake shoes and pad for older cars. They claim 30% more stopping power with there ceramic brake shoes over part store brake shoes. Might be worth looking into while you're trying to search for those hard to find parts? Who knows, you might like how your new shoes stop your car and forget about disc brakes?
@@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852 I have new shoes all around (I forget what brand) I had the drums resurfaced. I feel it's a combination of the dry, hot, dusty environment. Most likely crappy shoes. As well as a main complaint of the first generation Toronados. The all around drums suck. I'll definitely check it out to see if I can get some parts that will match up.
What’s an install like this typically cost?
A few variables in there. Size of brakes, type of car. About $1200 for the kit and then about 4-5 hours labour
👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Cheers mate
Are you at the Noname yet?
I'm afraid not, just too many work commitments. Getting Covid just put me too far behind with customer cars and the Barracuda. Next year !!
