Bob Lang just tipped me off to an easy brake upgrade for a TR6. Just drop in
Sunbeam Alpine (.750 bore) or Morgan (.875 bore) rear wheel cylinders and
you can get a pretty significant increase in rear wheel braking. Then I
found this article ( http://www.turbo-tr6.info/tr6_brake_install.html )
which addressed both Bob's suggestion and the Toyota 4 pot front calipers.
My question is the price difference for the rear wheel cylinders for OEM
(Morgan $150 each Rebuilt S/S) and after market ($30 each Alpine). That is a
HUGE price spread. I don't mind spending more for quality but that seems a
little much....so to speak.
Anyone have any experience with these and why the huge price difference?
Thanks
