[Fot] brake bias

[Mike Munson]

I've been told "if you have enough time to look at your gauges you're not
going fast enough or braking late enough". LOL
 
I have never noticed any feedback from my pedal but have heard some clicking
due to run out on a car with mufflers. A light turning of the rotors solved
the problem.

On Randalls sujestion i did a quick check on the disc thickness on  about 10
locations   Many are the same and the most variation is .006 I did not spend
much time on this and will do it more carefully as time allows  It will take
more time to  do the run out check as well. Is .006 enough to cause
sittuation

  I'd see how true your rear disks are, a little wobble causes a lot of
pressure variation. Rear wheels are also prone to a lot more hop as the
weight
shifts forward. Hard to see how that would make the pressure flutter, but it
might.

    I have Mike Munson's rear disc brake convertion on my tr-6. I recently
added
    bias gauges. The rear gauge flutters rapaidly under breaking.I have not
lost
    performance and i  am pretty certain there is no air in the system The
gauge
    for the front remains steady under breaking thanks for the help    rob
