Subject: Re: [TR] TR3a dual circuit braking
I considered this setup, but when I saw the price...I decided to make my own.
I think my design is better for a few reasons.
1. The standard box compartment in the fire wall doesn't need to be modified.
2. A downward element of my design attaches through the brake/clutch pedal
assembly adding no-lift, no-flex rigidity.
3. It was an enjoyable project with minimal cost.
I think it worth separating the front and rear brake components. By the late
1960s, most manufacturers made this standard.
Safety and adjustability is gained. Especially for high performance
applications.
