Even though I have a Garretson proportioning valve that keeps the
pedal feel pretty good, there's always a bunch of free play before the brakes start really working. Anyway, I had an excuse to get into the rear wheels, and I adjusted all the adjusters like 1/32 of a turn back from where they grab the wheels. The pedal free play was much much less and all was right with the world. Of course about 3 days later we did the autocross, and by the time I was driving home the excessive free play was back. . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) If this wasn't a street car in a stickler inspection state, and a sort-of 'classic' car that I want to keep close to normal, I'd go to a real rear caliper design. |
