... I was thinking about it, i wasnt sure it would make a difference for daily driving, since the cabby is fat, i know most you that are competitive run the...
Thanks guys for your help, after more searching i think ill just change out the rotors and calipers/holder for the ones on my 81 truck, to the cabby, and from...
Ben, The caliper holders you have are a very late model "Improvement." You can run the earlier caliper holders that don't cross between the wheel and the ...
I posted a month or so ago but got no responses so I thought I would try again. My name is Torie. I have done some autocrossing in the past with Indiana SCCA...
Koni + Eibach + GC coil-over adapter kit is sort of the standard for fsp -- people do tend to revalve but most indicate that the stock valved SA is good to at...
Thanks Kevin, I appreciate the thoughts. I was talking with a guy at GC yesterday and was most impressed with his arguements. Torie ... for fsp -- ... SA is...
... Could you use one diagonal circuit of the m. cyl to feed just the rear lines, through one line, one valve, then after that valve, T it to LR and RR? Then...
road racers have been known to run both front calipers off the front half of the mastercylinder. then run one line from the rear half MC to the proportioning...
... Geoff Zimmer! What did you find these holes to be back in '98 or so (when GH broke your car) ? 1/8" NPT? He used an honest-ta-goodness high tech item from...
I think you will need to keep a 16V proportioning valve in line somewhere in addition to the adjustable one to get your brake balance to where it needs to be,...
Y'all might have an honest to goodness parts store. In parts stores now you are lucky to find a metric bolt much less a metric threaded plug to fit a bubble...
If you can find a VW sandbuggy shop they will probably have a mastercylinder port block off screw, it has a cone shape that fits the inverted flair in the ...
If you have a local junkyard carrying older watercooled VWs, go poking around looking at the oil filter stands. Look for one with a block-off plug (in place...
Another option is to take an unused/new brake line, chop the line flush with the brass nut/fitting, then solder the hole closed, with the chunk of brake line...

Iain - the welding/soldering brake line method is how I did mine, but it took a couple attempts to get it right, leak-free, and was kind of a lot of hassling...
... Really? I don't see how this setup will allow a greater amount of braking force than stock. If they're run in series the prop valve can only further...
Oh yea, and the brake light senders can break if a ham footed driver attacks your brake pedal. (Yes, he has been a national champion, but in a car stronger...
Jake, The 1/8" pipe plug sounds crude, but works 100% of the time. There is absolutely no fear of brake failure due to the 1/8" pipe plug. I feal ALOT more...
The Wilwood adjustable will not reduce pressure enough on its own, believe me I would have loved to eliminate the stock valve. Actually neither valve on its...
