Was in my basement and figured I'd grab a comparison pic.
Front D90/110 vs Front D1. D1 is the smaller one.

 

Idk then fish, thought I used my d1 pads on the defender brake setup, iirc the calipers for the vented rotors were the same as the claipers for my d1 just wider

 

Reference pictures for those now and in the future.

Pic of my front brake

 

looks like the difference is the 3/8 or so spacer separating the two caliper halfs

 

That and it's almost an inch longer, and larger pistons

 

Finally getting around to this after posting this thread four years ago... Lol

Have everything except new lines, and will go ss braided from Trevor...

Last question... Do i need a new shaped piece for the line the comes out of the caliper to the new lines or will i be able to get away with the as braided all the way to the caliper?

 

I'm fairly certain you'll need a new piece of hard line between the SS flex and the caliper. Fish often talks about getting an 18" piece from a parts store and a bending tool and forming it yourself.

 

Thank you!



Does anyone have a close-up picture of their modification with the hard lines?

 

I upgraded my brakes in the summer of 2018, and also replaced my 7-year old braided lines with a fresh set. You will need to bend your own lines on the fronts for sure. Sorry, but I don't have any closeup photos of the custom lines. My suggestion is to not cheap out on the line bender. A better quality bender that can easily make tight bends will make it much easier. My method was to mark the areas to bend one at a time from the top connection (to the flex line) down to the bottom. I botched a couple lines, but they are fairly inexpensive.

I did attach a photo of one of the fronts all done below. One thing I still have yet to solve is getting my pedal pressure back to what I would expect. I bled all four corners in the recommended order, and even invested in a nice vacuum bleeder that attaches to a compressor. Pedal still has more travel that I like, but the truck stops fine, and much better than it used to with original front calipers/rotors. If I pump it once before stopping, the pedal does get firmer, so either there is still air in the lines (doubtful after the amount of tries I made!) or I need to replace the 22-year-old master cylinder. I'll probably just do that this summer anyway. I am curious to see what your experience with the ultimate firmness/travel of your brake pedal once you are finished with the job.
