So I'm idly perusing Paul's website during my lunch 10 minutes, and noticed a couple of things that I have questions on... These are related to the Spitfire 1500 spec page. 1. Brakes - Tandem master cylinder operating front and rear brakes independently. I thought I read (granted this was a long time ago) that the dual circuits operated on diagonals - LR/RF on one circuit, and RR/LF on the other. Supposedly for more stability under braking if one circuit is lost. Yes/no? ######## No, that would make no sense at all. Follow the lines and you will see the fronts are operated independently of the rears. ######## 2. Chassis data - many measurements have "(2 up condition)" after them. What does that mean? ######## No idea! Paul will have to answer this. ######## 3. Gearbox - what does the "overall" ratio tell us? I figured out that the overall is the gear ratio multiplied by the final drive ratio, but I still don't understand what that's telling me... ######## I think that one has to do with the overdrive unit when it is engaged.
