[Fot] dual circuit brakes on a tr4

[Bill Babcock]

Personally, I like to use all the same size m/c for clutch, front and rear
brakes so you only have to carry one spare rebuild kit and it's always the
right one. .070 is a good midpoint size and you'll be able to get the bias
adjusted without going to an extreme. Don't forget that you want some residual
pressure on the disk pads, and don't forget that some M/Cs come with the
residual pressure valve already in them. If you're going to use one for a
clutch you have to take the M/C apart and remove the residual pressure valve
or it will toast your thrust washers. You also probably don't want residual
pressure on the back drums.

Drilled rotors are a no-no with a lot of vintage racing organizations.

Thanks for all the the responses. I think I can fabricate something.
Does anyone have a suggestion on bore sizes to start with. I am
running stock TR4 front and rear brakes.

Also, I would be interested in hearing what pads people are running? I
have stock calipers, and drilled rotors.

TIA,
Mark
