Hello,
I was hoping to get some advice. I have a 71 T with almost all new braking components. Disks, lines, master cylinder, pads, are all new. Calipers are in good working order, but have not been rebuilt in a few years. The car has a good hard pedal, no shuttering or pulling what so ever, it just doesn't stop very well. There is no bite when you apply the brakes, even when hard on the pedal. It stops resonably well, but no bite. It feels as though you couldn't lock the brakes if you wanted to. I am very used to A, S, and Turbo brakes, perhaps this is as good as M systems get? The pads are Mintex, which I'm not crazy about. Can anyone recommend a pad that has real bite? Is there a caliper upgrade for 3" spacing, perhaps a 4 piston system? Any advice would be appreciated....Thanks
