THE BRAKING SYSTEM
NOTE: The brake master cylinder combination
supplied will give adequate brake balance
compensation for almost every surface condition.
However, should the balance become a problem
on events that include a large percentage of
extremely tortuous downhill sections on dry
tarmac, the rear braking can be reduced even
further by fitting a 7/8" master cylinder to the
REAR brake system.
BRAKE MATERIAL INFORMATION
From our experience we would suggest fitting
Ferodo 2459 material for both front and rear
brake pads. This will give good all round
braking performance and satisfactory brake
balance control for both tarmac and loose
surface conditions.
There are of course,
alternatives - Ferodo 3466 is a softer material
and DS 11 a much harder material.
Under some operating conditions a harder
material on the front pads may be a
consideration. However, since there is the
possibility that the DS11 material may not
always be running within its optimum
temperature range, the brake balance could
become inconsistent, and very REAR biased,
even to the extent of continuous rear wheel
l
ocking. Should these circumstances prevail, the
choice of DS 11 has not been the correct decision.
Revert to the recommended Ferodo 2459.
