All true ... Most vehicles with 4 wheel discs wear out pads at a rate of 2 sets of fronts to one sets of rears. To balance out the REPLACEMENT rate, some manufacturers designed the rear brakes with pads that are 1/2 as thick as those at the front. FWIW ... I seem to remember that FIAT was the...

For those trying to follow along: A PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH is a device installed in a DUAL CIRCUIT brake system that senses a failure (a sudden leak) in one or the other circuit. If one circuit develops a leak, the fluid pressure in this device pushes the spool valve off its centered...

For those trying to follow along: A PROPORTIONING VALVE is a valve installed into a brake system that limits the pressure to the rear brakes. When a vehicle is braking, its weight shifts toward the FRONT of the vehicle. This weight shift reduces the traction of the rear tires and limits...

Wow ... your memory is a LOT better than mine ... MikeW started crossing over the numbers and DEFINITELY didn't say it was a AMC Hornet! He said it was a Javelin. Check out this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/1375-dual-circuit-brake-system-5.html I...

There is this post form HanksDeuce on your other Brake engineering thread: "I found the following thread from Pirate 4x4. Uses 1994 Ford F-700 Bus rotors, rear calipers from a 2001 Ford F-550, and a master cylinder from a 1985 Chevy K30. On the last page of the thread a vendor is...
