Proven Braking Systems

[Lilspeed]

I'd be grateful if some of you people who have got your Freestyles through SVA/IVA could let me know what brake setup worked for you.

What I'm mainly interested in is how the correct front to rear bias is achieved - Pressure reducing valve? Or can it be done by selecting the correct size cylinders?

My Freestyle had the brakes partially plumbed when I bought it, and had the 4 way valve block from the late minis fitted. I know from experience this unit is unreliable and expensive so I'm hoping there's a better way.

Thanks in advance

None of the buggies I've put through SVA have ever had the valve fitted, the first 3 had twin pot callipers & Mini discs up front & the front drums modified at the rear, the last one had twin pot callipers & Mini discs up front & Mini discs & Golf callipers at the rear. They all had standard Mini M/C's, you do need to ensure they get plumbed in the correct way around if your using a Yellow M/C

Thanks for that Alan!

I'll junk the valve and run the pipes straight through then. Happy days!

Any idea what size rear cylinders you used?

They were whatever came standard as rear brakes
