Seriously,=20
So all you men who have fitted rear disc brakes to your Healey, have only ev=
er done this in order to "reduce" your rear braking effort?
To make your rear brakes "less efficient" than they already are?
And you've fitted Discs to "increase" your unsprung weight, and upset the ba=
lance of your car?
Seriously?
Sincerely, this group used to share ideas.=20
Now, instead of people saying "nah, tried that, but I locked rear wheels" it=
's a bunch of hypothetical Wikipedia answers.=20
So I will ask again.=20
Has anyone else changed their rear wheel cylinders on a 3000 from 3/4 inch t=
o 7/8 inch?
If yes - I'd love to hear your feedback.=20
If you've fitted disk brakes on your Jensen Healey, or what ever - I'm not i=
nterested in your comments. Im not interested in the theory - I'm interested=
 in the practice and real results from on the road.=20
Too much bullshit internet "searching" is infiltrating this list. I've alway=
s only answered when I've actually done something.=20
Armchair experts who google answers and Have now experience in the question I=
've asked need to pull their head in - that's you Kees.=20
>> Has anyone else ever changed their rear wheel cylinders from 3/4 inch to 7=
/8 inch?
If you have? I'd love to hear from you.=20
If you haven't, well, I don't really care!
Yes. I'm pissed off.=20
People who have the answer - from experience- don't answer when 4 others res=
pond.=20
I'm just pissed off=20
A lot going on.=20
