Not Ranked
I bought a completed car, are they ever complete, I should say running car. It has the mustang front with 9" rotors and mid sized GM calipers and pads. It has PSE aluminum 16" Cobra wheels.. Tilton master cylinders reservoirs. I used for the brakes are fire wall mounted reservoirs, the two 3/4" ID brake master cylinders are under floor, now I'm using a 1" ID mater cylinder for the hydraulic clutch with a engine mounted hydraulic slave cylinder. The Clutch master cylinder started with a 7/8" ID cylinder but had not enough volume to have much pedal ( throw out bearing) free travel and complete clutch release. You give up leverage with a volume gain, over the same travel distance. The clutch pedal (with the 7/8" ID master cylinder, was marginally slipper on foot doable but Now with the 1" ID master cylinder requires shoes to use the pedal.
The brakes have a threaded adjustable balance bar between the two brake master cylinder push rods for bias adjustment front to rear . The Cobra style brake pedal is between the two brake master cylinder push rods. The pedal bias adjustment will stay once adjusted, but there is a remote bias adjustment kit available. It has a knob with flexible shaft that could turn the bias bar screw adjustment shaft when needed , mostly a competition option. I agree the brakes, once bias is adjusted are still not as forceful as I would like The tires make noise but not lock up and slide on dry pavement. I think a brake booster or larger rotors would help But not a real option at this time or point. just one of many other choices I now would have made, if I were to build another car.
