Mick,
You and Pete Liebig should compare notes on the 4 spot/R31 as he has a
similar balance problem that has unfolded in his SR/510.
Mick, can you recall was master cylinder and size you used when you had the
R31's in the rear that wouldn't balance to your liking. BTW What happened to
the blue beast? Is it in 510 heaven?

Subject: Re: Hydraulic Handbrakes? (Was Re: Nissan Brake bias adjuster)
Thats exactly the set up i had on my previous car. the only way i could
make it work for motorkhanas was to fit a length of pipe over the handle to
exert greater leverage. The reason i am using the dunnydore stuff on the
back is that I could never get a good balance with the 4 spot/r31 set up..
the fronts would always overpower the rears.. now i have this new setup
including the tilton bias adjuster and it is sweet as..
how the hell am i gonna solve this (lack of) handbrake dilemma. I need a
good handbrake to hold the car on the boat ramp while launching and
retrieving...
