I just finished rebuilding my brake regulator with the PMB DIY rebuild kit and it looks like new. Only thing left is to set the switch to 525 psi. I'm guessing I could send it to PMB to have them set it, but wondering if this could be done locally at a brake shop. Anyone know?

I just finished rebuilding my brake regulator with the PMB DIY rebuild kit and it looks like new. Only thing left is to set the switch to 525 psi. I'm guessing I could send it to PMB to have them set it, but wondering if this could be done locally at a brake shop. Anyone know? I'd send to PMB. In fact, I just packed mine up to go off for the very same service. You can't beat PMB's price to rebuild, replace old seals, and then to set it. I used to be a brake design & release engineer among my many former jobs. You don't want to mess with rear bias. Especially so on mid-engine low polar moment of inertia vehicles. Personally I don't know of any retail brake shops with the hydraulic test equipment to attempt setting it and/or to accurately measure it. The consequences of getting it wrong could be catastrophic. Personally, I'll just pay the guy with the right equipment that has done it a time or two rather than risk training someone. Not saying it couldn't be done but I can't tell you how many pads I've found installed backwards over the years when someone was complaining of noise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I've toyed with the idea of putting ABS on . . . that would be sweet! Would just add weight and more complexity which defeats why I want to get back to 914's in the first place. |
