Default Re: brake issue

Jim ,you should recognize this problem from your own experience on your Stocker .
Pedal ratio is probably too low for the 11/8"cylinder .
A 6 to1 ratio is even a little low for the large cylinder ,I usually use 7 to 1 for the 1 1/8" and 6 to1 on the 11/16" or 1 1/32".
Best to test the pressure at the caliper with a gauge , first hit should deliver a minimum of 900 #.
As was mentioned , Aerospace brakes leave a LOT to be desired . ...I have helped several racers having issues with them .
