Finally got the Baer 12" rear Touring kit and installed it this past weekend. This weekend I'll finish up running the main brake line from front to rear and run the front lines. After that, it's time to bleed the brakes.

I went the complete GW set up but with the Konis. It was a pretty straight forward bolt in. the biggest PITA are the brake lines and adjustable prop valve!

Do you have any pics of your? I'd love to see them.

Yep, the e-brakes are on. I snapped the pics as the job progressed. What are you running for brakes on your Goat? BTW, that is one awesome ride!!!! :)

Thanks. I am running Wilwood stuff too. Not sure which one, the car is never here to check all that out-LOL
I got them in a kit from Global West.

Finally finished hooking up all the brake lines. Now it's on to the clevis and setting up the pedal and bleeding away.

Here's how my lines turned out from the distribution block to the MC and adjustable prop valve. It came out pretty clean looking from the top side. Stainless is nice but a pain to bend!

Very cool car. TT2's sure do look good on vintage Ponchos--especially when combined with a vintage color. Nice work.
