Improving 247mm brakes
#6
My wavy discs aren't 247mm anyway Wink

You said in the other thread that you have a lot of pedal travel before the brakes engage, so that would be my first port of call - either the rear brake shoes aren't autoadjusting properly (or the shoes are worn), or the pedal pivot has some play in it, or the linkage from the servo to the master cylinder isn't adjusted for proper clearance, all 3 of those make a big difference to pedal feel and bite. Smaller effect would be from discs not running true on the hub or drums ovalled slightly pushing the pads/shoes back when the pedal is released.

Do you have the assymetrical Bendix brake pads up front?
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
Top engine mount repair/reinforcement/chocking for cracked chassis and high powered cars, drive in, drive out, 2 hour turnaround.
