response / braking torque to pressure is Linear with disc brakes and
squared or even cubed with drum brakes. Best to use a proportioning
valve on the rear to limit braking torque.<br id="yiv8137988646yui_3_16_0_1_1441165079861_2850">A proportioning valve is
miss named as it changes the pressure response to pedal travel - which
flattens the torque response of the drum brake.</div><div id="yiv8137988646yui_3_16_0_1_1441165079861_2851" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yiv8137988646yui_3_16_0_1_1441165079861_2852" dir="ltr">Phil</div></div></div></div><br>________________________________________<br><br><a ymailto="mailto:datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net" href="mailto:datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net">datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net</a><br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>Unsubscribe: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/datsun-roadsters/aultgc@att.net" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/datsun-roadsters/aultgc@att.net</a><br><br><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
