Mike, it's true, Roadrunners. R/T's, etc, had 11x3" rear brakes, & Horace is 'living' proof, of it. Actually, I also meant to add, yesterday, that , due to the massive amount of front- wheels' braking, in relation to the rear- wheels' contribution, that I WOULD recommend (@ least, initially) installing the PLENTIFUL 11x2 1/2" rear brakes--& seeing if the braking-response is acceptable to 'you'--which it should-be. I installed the 11x3" rears 'purely' (due to their ready-AVAILABILITY, 10[?] years ago) for 'Macho-ness' (Macho-bility?) reasons--they just LOOK 'bad', sitting there, on that tapered-axle. (see my "second" article's photos.) Size matters. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Over 25,000 pages of archived Forward Look information can be easily searched at http://www.forwardlook.net/search.htm Powered by Google! |
