10# valves for drum brakes

2# valves for discs

I still wonder if these valves wouldn't "help" (not cure) the KB issues on the discs you guys are using. If it's okay to drive around in a hot rod with under floor M/C using them (2#'s) it can't be an issue... Right? So maybe the 2# valves would make it a little better? Anyone?

We have tried the 2 pound and 10 pound residual pressure valves on other cars with knock back issues and it did not work.

My last 7 cars have had this problem....
Tri Trip
Red Witch
Thrasher
Mule
Camaro X
Jackass
Red Devil (The knock back is good on this car but it is still new)

I'm very close to going to a full floater to solve all this problems.

Knock Back
Oil leaking tube ends

But it induces some problems of ABS sensors, park brake system, wheels, cost and complexity

I have gotten used to left foot braking to pump up the brakes going down the straights.

The standard tapered roller bearing Ford big bearing seems to have about .020" - .050" end play after track use. This is what causes knock back of opposed piston calipers (4 piston).

I'm going to work on a better design to help fix the problem.
