- Perhaps you might recall a few months back I asked for the collective wisdom concerning the brakes on the BN3? I replaced the linings on the front shoes and while I had excellent pedal it just would

- Even though I haven't tried mine out on the BN1 yet, I was told years ago to have my shoes redone with "Woven Segmented Brake Linings." According to some of the gurus in the San Diego and So. Cal. A

- I don't claim to be a hydraulics expert, but common sense says that compared to a 7/8" cylinder a 1" cylinder would have the following characteristics. More pressure ( given the same psi of input pre

- That would be for the master brake cilinder where you apply force and not pressure. In the wheel cilinders you create pressure by applying force to the MBC, thus the force exerted by the wheel cilind

- If the diameter of a brake cilinder is increased from 7/8" to 1" you will also increase the force on the brake shoes by 30%, so do it on all front cilinders. However pedal travel will increase, so be

- I'm not a hydraulic expert myself but I think it's the other way around. Smaller diameter wheel cylinders give more pressure for the same pedal travel. Let me know what replies you get. I very well

- I can't answer your question about what what wheel cylinders were used on the 100 and 100-6. The six was a bit heavier car, so I would expect different cylinders. Another option is to have the 1" cy

- I think you and I are saying the same thing. Maybe I am confused about the mechanical advantage involved. If pedal movement is constant the larger slave cylinder will move less distance. Does that e
