Brake system questions

[Tom Goldman]

Depends on the pedal ratio. ....Check your ratio ,if it's over 7 to 1, I'd use the 1 1/4" ,under 7 to 1, I'd consider the smaller bore. .....A lot depends on the bore of the calipers. ...does the manufacturer make any recomendations ?.....Tom

We are basically building the front starting with some Caliper brackets and spindles I got as a kit. They use rotors from a Chevelle and the calipers from a 70 camaro.

The rear kit uses the "metric" GM calipers.

I will have to check on the pedal ratio, the Nova still has the stock pedal. It should have a pretty good ratio, it was a manual brake car originally
