Does anyone have the experience and time to briefly describe any needed tricks to delete the brake compensator on an early car / This, so as to make way for a 6 engine mount?
Things like / Is more brake line needed in addition to the "tee" fitting? And is the tee a hardware store item or another "porsche-priced" item that would be metric, brass, and overpriced by 3x?... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) Sounds like a good time to change out all brake fluid as well. I have heard the warnings if one is running 914-4 brake calipers / I am not and have nice beefy 911 calipers which will do the job up front verses in back. Thanks in advance.

My experience is limited to the theory as I.ve kept my car mostly in stock form and went through my suspension with the weight ratios in mind.
In stock form the car was almost perfectly balanced. The valve as I understand it is like a antilock device or prevents brake bias....meaning if the car is balanced for the midpoint it will spin at that center of inertia. Since you are converting you car to a heavier motor...its a tough question since you will be altering this balance. Have you considered this in the suspension on tje car? Probably need more info on tires...brakes...suspension mods if any to get opinions. So this are some things to think about before you go to Home Depot. Like your Moniker....there is some inherent risks in your Traunches. |
