So I'm idly perusing Paul's website during my lunch 10 minutes, and noticed a
couple of things that I have questions on... These are related to the Spitfire
1500 spec page.
1. Brakes - Tandem master cylinder operating front and rear brakes
independently. I thought I read (granted this was a long time ago) that the
dual circuits operated on diagonals - LR/RF on one circuit, and RR/LF on the
other. Supposedly for more stability under braking if one circuit is lost.
Yes/no?
2. Chassis data - many measurements have "(2 up condition)" after them. What
does that mean?
3. Gearbox - what does the "overall" ratio tell us? I figured out that the
overall is the gear ratio multiplied by the final drive ratio, but I still
don't understand what that's telling me...
Thanks a lot!
