You beauty!.........through engineering

Thanks for the comments guys.

Tyres are new old ie 7yo but now first use so grip is fine as rubber is still good and calipers are the 4 spots I believe.

Set the actuation to come on fairly early in the pedal travel but that's just where the pedal is related to the booster shaft by the connecting yoke. I wouldn't have thought winding the yoke out some would change the pedal pressure, just when the brakes get actuated from the un-depressed pedal location.

Certainly not going to rush at this one pre-rego. but practically the idea of being able to stop over a shorter distance with less likelihood of lock up is all good in my mind.

Sounds like some more research to come. Will start this at the next club meeting next week but there won't be a car Michael, I'm still on my play permit which I am happy to push the testing boundary on, but explaining an after 7pm drive, to an orrifficer of the raw, would be most difficult.

Still waiting to see yours - you show me yours first!!!?!

Oh and I should say for those that don't know the history, semi rolling kit bought end Feb 06, with an engine choice necessitating rego this year and I aint a single bloke either. So there has been a lot of midnight oil burnt in the last 20 months!!

Cheers

Well done Stephen.

re the brakes. You could always put some air into the system. That should make it much harder to lock up (I take no responsibility for any death injury or vehicle damage that may occur)

Now that's thinking outside the square.

Congratulations Slowy,

Regarding the brakes, do you know what proportioning valve is in the master cylinder? I think then original Sigma is 60/40, the brake specialists in Perth covert all Cobra/Sigma master cylinders to 50/50 to get a beter balance. That may solve your problem.

Congrats Slowy!!!

On the brake issue, perhaps you could try changing the moment by moving the yoke attaching point down the pedal by a small amount... Perhaps?!?!

Well done!
