Rear Brake Upgrade Question

[TimNC]

Not posted in quite a while . . . need input from the group on my stock '76 02. I will be installing the big brake upgrade to front (Ireland Eng. BB Kit for stock 02) and would be like to know what others who have used this kit have had to do to their rear brakes to balance things out. Are stock rear drums (230mm) and wheel cylinders (15mm) OK. If not what are you running. What about pressure regulator/bias valve to rear if drums are upgraded? Your feed back is appreciated. Thanks. TC

I upgraded my '76 to tii equipment (booster, m/c, calipers etc) and to compensate for the larger m/c I installed tii wheel cylinders out back.

I understand that if you move to a bigger m/c the standard '02 wheel cylinders won't handle the capacity.

The plan for sometime is to upgrade the rear to E21 bits...but for now this is working nicely.

Tim My M2 has Irleands and the SC car has them too, Greg had to do alot of work on them to get them to not drag. Call him for the scoop. I just bought that 320is from Rodney and it has the bigger drums if you are interesdted in them. Andy
