Looking to upgrade my present brake system but I want to keep it 4 lug AND keep the parking brake. Not to mention, staying out of the Poor House at the same time. I'm not opposed to moving up to a larger MC. Is there such an animal? TIA, Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

On Betty's car we have the stock 4 lug brakes. Calipers rebuilt by PMB, pads supplied with the calipers, and a T fitting in the rear. Proportioning valve has been gone for over 15 years at the recommendation of the late Wes Hildreth.
The car stops great. Easy to modulate. Reliable, and the park brake works. It is definitely enough brakes for a /4 powered car. Only problem is the pads squeal, and Betty doesn't like it. I need to put some Smurf Stuff on the backs of the pads to stop the squeal. |
