I really like my 10 and 3/4? front brakes, I used this size as I still
have 13 inch wheels. The setup work very well as I have a Wilwood
proportioning valve to adjust front to rear effort to my driving style, or
perhaps
lack of. One problem I have is that I use a 1980 Subaru Brat M/C to gain a
dual chamber master, this has turned out to be the weak link. While I got
plenty of help from Wilwood Tech about setup, when I asked for then to
recommend a dual chamber M/C I have not heard back and it?s been over a year.
I
drive the car fairly regularly, it runs and stops great, brake pedal is
soft on initial press of pedal. Brakes have been bled several times and the
M/C does not leak and no fluid has been lost. I do need a line on a better
Master. The great is quite fast and I would say my stopping confidence for
me driving is about 80 to 85% sat. My son told me the pedal is too mushy
for him. My wife will not drive it yet, so just my oldest son and I have
driven it. So th
is needs
attention. I am still looking.
The actual caliper setup with drums on the rear is awesome for street use
and maybe when a new M/C is fitted something a little more, noting the car
is very fast!
By the way I used Classic tube hard lines for the car except for the M/C
connections in the engine bay to the valve, they are custom bent. I would
use this method again for another Tiger, but it would have to be Midnight
Blue (58)!!!

Jim,
Have you had a large amount of driving experience with the front Wilwood
and rear drum brake setup?
I am considering that same brake combination and also whether to convert
the rear brakes to Wilwood disks with Dale's kit.
What I'm trying ta assess is how much better the front only conversion is
in comparison to the stock Tiger brakes and also the full conversion to the
front only Wilwood disks. Any advice on what you may have learned would
be very helpful.

Tiger listers:
I seem to continue to receive info from you folks. I would offer that as
a former member of facebook, I utilize and appreciate and use this list
almost daily, sometimes even add when I have something to offer.
As for social media, consider this, I closed my facebook account over 2
years ago when they were exposed conducting an experiment posting positive
and negative info to selected facebook members as an unannounced experiment,
really, I personally do not need to be part of this BS nor will I.
Here is the result of your contributions to my restoration effort, a 1966
Mark1(a) Tiger with a modified 260, posit track rear-end, Wilwood front
discs, stock rear drums, a really nice car, oh yes, Martha C. interior.
So thanks and let?s consider this one of the reasons to keep going.
