1. GT-6/Spitfire brakes (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 21:09:47 EDT; Getting ready to do a rear brake job on my 73 GT-6. Sometime in it's past life the larger MK3 drums have been replaced with spitfire components. Purchasing shoes should not be a problem since it appe; /html/triumphs/2001-06/msg01044.html (7,601 bytes)
2. Re: GT-6/Spitfire brakes (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 18:27:05 -0700; I am pretty sure that the Spit and GT6 models shared common wheel cylinders. (same year cars used the same unit). Therefore, it is likely that the original ones were used. So if you just order the c; /html/triumphs/2001-06/msg01045.html (8,487 bytes)

Re: GT-6/Spitfire brakes (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 07:22:11 -0700; Someone (who is supposed to know these things) once told me that if you use a smaller wheel (or slave) cylinder, you will actually get a higher pressure than if you use a larger one. It makes sense t; /html/triumphs/2001-06/msg01060.html (8,730 bytes)
5. Re: GT-6/Spitfire brakes (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 07:44:01 -0700; It gets confusing here, since there are many different places to measure pressure. The force exerted by a hydraulic piston is the hydraulic pressure times the area of the piston. So, if the system p; /html/triumphs/2001-06/msg01063.html (9,484 bytes)

The delimma I had was whether to use a larger or smaller slave cylinder. The explanation I got is that since the pre; /html/triumphs/2001-06/msg01064.html (10,747 bytes)
7. Re: GT-6/Spitfire brakes (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 09:10:10 -0700; Sorry, but that's backwards. You're right in that if the pistons were the same size, the force would be equal. But, if the area of the slave is 1/2 the area of the master, then it exerts only 1/2 the; /html/triumphs/2001-06/msg01074.html (9,165 bytes)
8. Re: GT-6/Spitfire brakes (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 12:47:40 -0400; The person who told you got it backwards. Basic hydraulics says that the force exerted by the slave cylinder is the pressure in the fluid times the area of its piston.

12. Re: GT-6/Spitfire brakes (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 15:01:05 -0600 (MDT); If you take the same setup and apply the 10 psi to a 0.5 square inch piston you are now getting 10 lbs per 1/2 square inch which is 20 psi and you get 20 lbs. of force out of the system.

13. RE: GT-6/Spitfire brakes (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 15:06:53 -0700; No, that's wrong. If you apply 10 psi to a 0.5 square inch piston, you only get 10 psi per 1/2 square inch which is 10 psi.
