hello again!
I realise that TG is not the be all and end all but what they offer allows me to buy a certain amount of suspension parts instead of fabricating all of them myself.
Thus speding up my build.......... I am really sick of researching **** on the intermanet. But better off doing it first time round than rebuilding my creation in a couple of months.
Any way about the brakes.
I have e-mail wilwood and another ob of brake guys. I wanted to see what they could offer and basically this is what the brake guru's said:
On the road you NEED a short throw high-pressure MC. The MC must deliver maximum performance (which is derivitive of your effective disc ratio, and lever ratio) because you have a reliable sturdy braking platform (road-car), and you have a solid footing (asphalt). The harder the pedal and the shorter the throw the more feel you get, and the braking performance is increased to achieve a realistic goal.
Off-road (trail-rig) a 1" master cylinder will serve the purpose of a standard 80-series set-up (single pot rear, and quad pot fronts). By adding a further set of quad pot caliper I will effectively decrease system pressure for an idential pedal effort due to the pedal lever ratio not being altered. This means that you are correct Mace I will have a longer pedal throw. Anyway back to the facts: By increasing pedal effort (the amount I have to push on the pedal) I will have substantially more control and feel in an off-road scenario due to the more lever effort required.
If (as standard) I have 1" throw for 0% braking and 4" throw for 100% braking I may (no-one is quite sure, but brake techs said a 60% increase in throw length is more than reasonable). After adding the extra calipers I will have about 1" throw @ 0% and maybe 6 1/2" throw @ 100%.
I hope that all makes sense.
