Cant seem to get the rear brakes to engage. They are bled, no air in the lines. Just no movement. Very odd....

 

[Lethalcast]

Ya that is odd. I had to bleed mine twice and tighten and loosen each bleeder about ten times to get a good seat on it. Havent had any leaks and they feel great

Believe it or not, there is still air in the line. Or one of the other pads has not come in contact with the rotor yet. You won't see much movement either way but they should clamp and stop the rotor from turning pretty quick after applying the brake.

I wonder if it has something to do with the auto adjusters for the parking brake. Everytime you engage the parking brakes it self adjusts until it takes most of the clearance out of the brake pads.

Try moving the parking brake lever repeatedly on both sides until it stops adjusting and then try applying the brakes.

I do not have my cables hooked up yet. I had a ton of air come out of the rears after the first time bleeding. I think my air came from the master cylinder. I still need to bleed them again.

Went back and looked at some Solstice rear brake swaps and realize I had mine on the wrong side. Flipped, redid the bleeding and they work perfect. Since the bleeder screw was facing down there was probably a huge bubble on both side. Much more confident test drive today.

I feel like i should pretend that your garage lights are NOT green.......

 

[IDRVSLO]

Well it is Christmas.....but I am a Seahawks fan...sssooooooo there's that.

 

[ctuinstra]

Looking good! Those are such bad ass wheels and tires!

 

[JeffsGoblin]

All around great looking build! Very nice!

 

[IDRVSLO]

One step closer. Had to get it weighed before registering it. I will update everyone on WA process but based on what the Exocet guys do there isn't much to it. Might be done on Wednesday when the DMV opens back up.

1560 minus the side panels, taillights, spoiler and some other small items. My guess will be right at 1600.

 

[ctuinstra]

That sounds spot on. We were at 1800 with my fat butt in the car and 100% Complete.

Thanks, the truck has served me well throughout the project!

Love your build! It keeps me motivated.

Headlights are wired, going to finish up the tail lights tomorrow. The wrap and side panels will go on over the weekend.

I did wire the turn signals and everything works minus the left turn signal. The lights in the mirror do work. If I remember correctly the donors turn signals all worked. Could a faulty turn signal switch cause this? Does anyone have the pin location for the drivers turn signal? Assuming this is from the headlight harness?

Thanks!

Anything could be possible. Did you measure voltage? Your meter probably won't be responsive enough to toggle between 0 and 12V cleanly, but you should still see some kind of display change that should at least indicate you're getting some kind of voltage there.
