Another consideration, for those that like the solid pedal feel of a
non-boosted hydraulic system, is Tom Hall's 6:1 pedal set up. I haven't
driven a car with his part, but hear it really helps with providing the
right leverage for a non-boosted system.

brake upgrade
Tym,
My Mk 1a has Wilwood front discs with stock drums in
the rear. It has a
dual reservoir with a Wilwood proportioning valve. It is
a manual
system.
Still shaking it down, however the brakes work very well
with a bias
towards
the fronts, of course. The car has 13" wheels so it is
fitted with the
older
Dale's kit that has 10.5 inch rotors. I am happy
with it so far
possibly
except the master, which seems weak to me; data for
this is that I am
on my
second one. I could use a recommendation on a
better M/C. They stop
the car
very well though; it is not a racer but a
street vehicle with original
260
(just under 300 hp), toploader and
positrac rear.

Tigers,
I'm
repainting my Mk1A. While it's apart I'm planning a brake upgrade.
I
understand that Dale's restoration has a brake kit. I've also looked
at the
Wilwood kit option. Does anyone have any experience with what they
think is
the best option. My car has never had a brake booster.
Thanks in advance.
Tym McDowell
