The problem is that a 90 is so short that weight transfer is dramatic and makes the car unstable under heavy braking and easy to lock the rear wheels.
oh forgot - i found a resolve to that and anyone that says the above about 90 brakes is wrong and needs to get their brakes fixed - or at least check they do not havea G valve.
the common sense/logical way to plumb the g valve in is "obvious" but plumbed in right - it looks wrong. - it should enter the rear and exit the front - then the pipe is curved 180 degrees to the rear wheels. - and it will pass a tapley test with the brakes plumbed either way for mot - doesnt make it right.
my brakes will turn you inside out now and i can stamp on the brakes hard and the car stays stable and locks the front first now.
how ever i have fitted all new pistons and seals - new master cylinder , new servo hoses , new wheel cylinders , new drums/shoes and disks/pads and new wheel bearings.
the brakes are the best part about the car.
we have test/tax and insurance.
thunderbirds are go.
*till i got to work today and it didnt start after i parked up..... ****ing main earth vibrated loose and is corroded internally.... the joys of knowing your motor inside out is that it was started again within 30 seconds 😀 - will need to get a new one of them eventually....
