    Read through some of the posts and still have a question about the proportion valves. Pulling the pieces and parts together, and the last bit of hardware needed seems to be a proportioning valve on the rear brake line.

    Disc Brake turning minimum allowable thickness

    Pulling this out of my other post about the the Disc salvageability for a quicker response. Reconciling Dave's Lux post and FSM, my understanding follows: each face should be no less than .030 for a total of .060. The .060 is less the cooling slots cast in the rotor? The FSM states on 5-55...

    Disk brakes are these rebuild able

    These look rusty, but usable. Disks look like they have plenty meat on them, and are turnable. Calipers look salvageable as well, opinions?
