    Wilwood Calipers

     



    OK Guys , Gotta question, on my 32 3 window hi-boy coupe, Heidts IFS and IRS , Wilwoods on all four corners . Power or Non power brakes , and if so using the Dual 7 " Booster and Vette 1" Master Cyl. I want good breaks and yet make it easy enought for my wife to drive. Incidently Happy Veterans Day to all you Vet's out there , I for one appreciate everything youv'e done and the sacrifices ya'll made , That's southern for you'ns.

    Ski, if either or both of you are mostly or entirely used to driving modern day cars then power is the best idea, especially for the wife's comfort. Four wheel discs can be fairly stout to activate, depending on leverage built into the pedal arm. The 1" Vette reservoir is the preferred one.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Got power brakes on my roadster, IFS with disc brake rear, love it. Install the Wilwood proportioning valve in the rear line and use a gauge at the caliper to set your pressures.
