First, thanks to Randall and John for their responses on "Knock-back" as
relates to Toyota caliper conversion. Revington TR had advised me to avoid the
Toyota calipers due to excessive knock-back...........
I am going to list the brake upgrades I am considering and would be
interested in the experiences, feedback of list members, especially those who
have had experience in various upgrades.
RATCO is building a new frame for me and will be installing TR4A-6 lower
suspension mounts and 4A spring tower for the late 6 suspension components I
plan to install. Was thinking of swapping out the late 6 calipers and disks
for: Toyota 4-pot or spending $$$ on alloy 4-pots. Then there is the "?" of
std. 12mm slotted or 22-24mm ventilated disks. I will be going to alloy front
hubs and am wondering if going to the alloy 4-pots, 12mm disks and the
resulting reduced unsprung weight will be sufficient benefit to offset the $$$
of the alloys???
Plan to install Revingtons split brake kit and dual line servo. Would
install a brake line pressure switch to modulate the front to rear pressures.
At the rear I am strongly considering going with Revingtons disk brake
conversion for Girling solid axles as well. He may be using modified Spitfire
components in this upgrade. There are lots of other things I plan to do on
TS6927L, but will save those for another chapter. Any thoughts, suggestions,
rebuttal or general discussion will be appreciated.
