<VV> Brakes - Pedal Pressures

[Matt Nall]

I had a very nice low mileage 1972 Dart Swinger with all drum brakes that were 
so bad, you needed to get off the seat and put all your weight on the pedal to 
lock the brakes and get that car to do something like slow down.

===============================================================


Bill,  this is where growing up in "HOTROD areas"  paid off.


 When building / modifying cars you quickly found out what the Engineering types already knew!!


 A smaller bore MC  gives you more "Pedal Power"  Just the brake adjustments had to be kept   close...


After Self Adjusters became commonplace, then the MFG's started doing it! IE:


  Vair Metallic Brakes... stopped better.. but took more pedal pressure... so GM  used a smaller bore MC.
