Wilwood Big Brake kit

I’m about out of the first Qt I’ll pick up another qt tomorrow after work and get back at it, I started the car and pumped 10-12 times but still went to the floor then I had more calls to go and take care of, nother busy day tomorrow but want to get this going since I’m anxious to see how it stops 🙂, on a side note I wish I could forward a few text messages from a customer agreeing to a price VIA text last Sept then I sign on to his permit a few months ago to install a new mini split in a garage conversion to a MIL apt, now he thinks the price is too high lol, I told him I’m taking my company name off the permit and told him to read back to his text from Sept where he agreed to the $2,800 price for complete installation including dryer vent and bath fan, Oh well let someone else deal with it 😂

He's just bitchin because he's short on money now. Fuggem'. No need for you to get in trouble because his panties are in a wad.

That shit happened to me all the time, and I'd just walk away and wish them luck, and when they called back (usually after someone else screwed them or it up) the price would go up 30% to 50% for all the shit I'd have to fix.

It’s funny he just texted about 15 min ago “I hope no hard feelings” I said “No hard feelings at all 👍👍🙂” cheaper guy will fuck up and not do things right and end up costing more $$$, I’m Done 🙂 Edit he just tried to pay me $95 for my troubles but Zelle didn’t work..? I said No Charge
 
I finally got to spend time bleeding the brakes with a Superior Tool vac bleeder and today after work took it out to bed the pads but only got to about 35 mph but the brakes actually stop the car WO the Pucker Feeling 😂 I still need to adjust the Wilwood adj P valve since it doesn’t nose down much on a hard stop and rear rotors were warmer than the fronts, I’m thinking my whole problem was these rotors that came in the kit 12 yrs ago, disc are different thickness on each side, this is with a 1968 Vette 1 1/8” bore disc/disc MC for power brakes from Napa (New not reman) and not a lot of pedal push before brakes are applied, very firm pedal 👍🙂
