That ought to result in more brake pressure at the rear shoes.  I tried =
the opposite, putting 3/4=E2=80=9D TR wheel cylinders on my Morgan in an =
attempt to get less braking force in the rear (my bias adjuster was =
already all the way forward).  I couldn=E2=80=99t tell much difference =
in my case, perhaps because the rear-wheel lockup (and occasional snap =
180=CB=9A spin) had something to do with my limited slip not slipping =
enough.
