Default Peddle travel?

Hi Harry

Without getting out my hydraulics hand book, I want to say that going with large wheel cylinders is going to effect how much peddle travel will be needed.

As has been said how hard or soft the brake linings are will effect braking more. To me softer is better, preference to waring shoes instead of drums.

With all three of my CMPs brake adjustment is the biggest factor in brake performance. It's the difference between being able to lock up all 4 wheels if needed. Stopping without pumping the brakes.

But to Bobs question does the truck have brake booster?

Cheers Phil
