Anyone every convert to manual brakes?
I have a project car and basically will be replacing the whole system. I was looking at a manual brake setup. Is it comfortable for street and even some road track driving?
Older car doesn’t have abs, just looking at some options.
Yes I know I need a master/caliper/proportioning valve al configured to be compatible.
I think you’re just used to it. When I drove a 65 it caught me off guard for sure. Since then I’ve daily’d unnasisted cars and gotten used to it, but it’s still a chore. An hour of stop and go traffic on hills feels like an eternity, and that’s a 2000lb car with fully rebuilt drums all around.
I wonder if having front drums was a factor. Only some of the first gens came with front discs (I assume you know).
Your drums are 100% a factor. Switching to disc and more aggressive pads will make your life a lot easier. Assuming your system is properly maintainedz
