Brake Booster Guidance Needed
Hello all,
I am the third owner of a 71 Cheyenne 1/2T (avatar) with factory manual disc/drum brakes. Not knowing the truck's history, there are certain things that I feel like I should get new and completely replace, such as brakes. I am in the process of collecting parts to redo the disc brakes and I'd like to install a brake booster with new master cylinder and proportioning valve. I have already purchased rotors and loaded calipers from R1 Concepts, and the Timken bearing kits. Next I am looking at getting hoses and the booster. Will redo the drums on the rear shortly. As Brake boosters come in a variety of sizes: 7", 9", 11", etc., can I assume that the smaller the size the less "boost" assistance will be provided by the unit? If I plan on keeping a mostly stock vehicle, maybe a little lowering later, what is the smallest size I should I consider? Are there any other things that need to be considered? Any recommendations on brand and/or place to purchase would also be appreciated. TIA! -Ed Last edited by EdSevered; 06-23-2014 at 03:17 PM. |
