Hi FOT,

This is not just hydraulic theory via physics classes, but real life TR3 
testing by a racer as well.  It is the area of the brake cylinder piston 
times the line pressure
that one uses to calculate the applied force. The more force, the more 
stopping power.

  No force is applied when the piston is moving to take up the free play.  

pie R SQ  dictates that a small difference in diameter changes the piston 
area a large amount.

 I have always thought that smaller pistons in the bore will displace more 
 motion with the same amount of fluid, so small cylinders will improve rear 
 braking.
