I have installed a front disk brake conversion on my 58 BN6. The brake kit =
was supplied with the uprated calipers, which use the larger BJ8 pads (vend=
or description).
The system was bled and the pedal firm. Initial drives indicate very little=
front brake support.
The next recommended move was to replace the rear drum brake wheel cylinder=
s, from 1" to 5/8". That was done with no recognizable improvement.
The next move is to switch out the master cylinder from (3/4)" to 5/8" as =
per the non-servo disk brake BN7.
In this case should the push rod length be changed as well to get increased=
fluid into the front disks?
Or is a proportioning valve a better way to go?
