All,
Does anyone know what the (brake/clutch) pedal ratio is on the TR6? Please
correct we if I am wrong, but I figure that one of the reasons why we have a
brake booster is because of a poor pedal ratio.
I'm going to junk the pedal box and use one from Tilton or Wilwood, which
have a ratio of 5.7:1. This will enable me to ditch the brake booster, and
have the front and rear brakes on independent circuits (I will use a balance
bar and proportioning valve). Could it also reduce the clutch effort? I've
already beefed up the sheet metal around where the pedal box goes, ready to
accept the after-market pedals.
On another note, if you would like to check out the early pictures of what
Rags' hood will look like with a TR250 "power bulge", check out

Why do they call it a "power bulge"? Is this some phallic reference to men
wearing 60s/70s tight pants? Groovy, Baby!
