Re: Disc Brake Conversion Question
One more thing: By drilling a hole 1 inch lower than original hole for brake-rod, it gives the push-rod a longer throw, which means it pushes the push rod further into the booster. It GIVES you a 'mechanical advantage' of distance the rod travels and takes away the advantage you HAD of ease of pushing the rod--pedal becomes harder to push but it flows more brake fluid per pump of the pedal. The mfg of your system had a reason for directing you to drill that hole! But, our method might just suffice. Hope this makes sense.
