Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires proper alignment of the two mounting holes and secure connection of brake lines to the inverted flare ports. The master cylinder cap is included, but the push rod and brake booster must be reused from the original assembly or sourced separately. Bleeder hoses and mounting hardware are not included, so ensure these components are available before installation. It is recommended to bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and verify proper hydraulic function.
