Default Re: Disk Brake Conversion

Just a note about my reference to "panic stop"..........
You might want to try this yourself on a lonely road (or a big empty parking lot) with nobody around to see what happens when you mash down on that power brake pedal. One of the BIG things I really like about non-power is that I have GREAT control over the braking system and can lock them up if I want to with increased pressure on the pedal, but I prefer not to. It is the closest thing to "anti-lock" without all of the expense in doing this sort of modification.
