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 |
