    Default Disc Brakes Arrived!!!! (Part II)

    I tried to dig up the old thread, for continuity, but I couldn't find it. I dove back into the brakes today.

    The short version: Use a double diaphragm booster with large bore master cylinders

    The long version: Thinking that my brake booster was bad, I swapped it out and installed a double diaphragm booster in its place. Wow. Instant brakes! The truck stops without the pedal going all the way to the floor and it even stops when in low range. I think that as the pads get broken in, they will grab even more. I'm happy. Definitely money well spent. It doesn't stop as quickly as my FSJ, but it's also heavier, too. It'll be nice not having to give my leg a workout every time I drive the thing!

    Okay, dumb question #2011. If I use the recomended '72 Vette MC with brand new replacement brake lines, can I just put a booster behind it, mod the shaft for the actuator and have boosted brakes? I have a brake booster from a FSJ in the garage but it is currently hooked to a drum/disc M/C If it'll work my plan is to rob it off the back and put it on the Vette M/C.
    Works? Wont work? Ideas, comments?
