Re: Brakes info

There's an error in that article. The brake pressure doesn't change. If it did, the stopping power would be reduced (Pascal's law). What does change is the effort required to achieve the same amount of pressure.

True...an example I use trying to explain to someone is a floor jack with that little tiny piston lifting a vehicle with little effort.

Re: Brakes info

Good talk on importance of what changing bore size will achieve. I went to an early hot rod seminar and this brake specialist guy laid it all out. Back before disc brakes they did some amazing things with modified drum brake systems. He explained how he made heavy nosed hot rods stop flat. I wish I had videoed his presentation.
