Where did you pick up the shaft from and what did it run you.

Mine is already in the car, it fit with no issues.

 

[Mike Busutil]

I just had a thought...

Since I upgraded all four wheels to big disk brakes, what keeps my wheels from locking up when I step on the brakes?

 

[hot72rod]

That's the thing, you don't want your brakes to lock up.

 

[Mike Busutil]

Exactly my point.

I dont want to get on the road and start braking then go sliding.

I guess I'm asking if the brake booster, master cylinder and proportioning valve is all I need or am I missing something else?

 

[hot72rod]

That's all you should need. But don't think just because you have bigger brakes that you can't lock them up. I have locked up brakes on a newer car with ABS. So it's not impossible to do, just harder.

 

[Mike Busutil]

Thanks.

I was thinking the larger disks brakes would be easier to lock up which got me thinking if I were missing anything or if my setup would be ok.

Thanks again.

 

[hot72rod]

The larger brakes will be harder to look up.
