Can anyone ID this brake part? It's inline to the front brakes only. I've never seen such a thing. My pal Eric at PMB thinks it's a residual pressure regulator meant to keep some brake pressure on tap for a firmer pedal... News to me...

QUOTE(GregAmy @ May 20 2026, 07:39 AM)  It's basically an air-assisted pressure damper/accumulator, used to dampen the pulses of a non-perfectly-flat rotor. It's really a bit of old technology and, if I may offer, a bit toward the "tornado intake twister for better fuel economy" JC Whitney sorta thing. I suggest it will give you a much more nebulous pedal (which you can do on your own...) That is the best description of one of those I've ever read! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Love the "Tornado" comment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I wouldn't leave that puppy on anything, especially my sports car! |
