Eric's ad selling the 912 rear calipers started a discussion about the brake pressure regulator. I'd like to continue that discussion. Eric mentions that he wouldn't replace the regulator with a 'T' fitting. What I would like to know is how could you test the regulator off of the car? At $300 - $400 a piece from the dealer I would like to test mine before I purchase a new one.
Also, Eric mentioned that the front calipers shouldn't be used on the rear, even with the regulator. Is there any problem installing a set of rebuilt rears on and not installing the parking brake cables? Any thoughts and suggestions are welcomed. BTW, I'd like to keep this discussion only for the 4-lug wheels. Also, what are the thoughts about replacing the master cylinder with the larger one how does that effect the brake biasing? -- Rob |

Actually it is BOTH !!!! If the hydraulics fail in the primary system, then the mechanically actuated rear brakes can be used in an EMERGENCY to stop the vehicle, as well as to hold it in place while PARKED on level or sloped ground! Now play nice Boyz! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) |
