Manual brake parts

**Martin0660** · 11-30-2016, 09:54 PM

Figured I would ask before I started ordering stuff.

going to convert my car to manual brakes, anyone have any parts they bought and never used laying around?

manual brake kit

adjustable proportiniong valve

kit to gut the proportioning valve.

Let me know what you might have before I start ordering stuff.

even a further stretch, but if anyone has a Wilwood 5 lug rear kit I'm listening

I have the plate that bolts onto the firewall and the rod

just saw this on fb under dash unit from Tim lyons

**Martin0660** · 12-01-2016, 10:56 AM

Thanks Bill, will keep it in mind if I don't find a full kit.

yeah, like almost $700 ... I don't have that coyote kind of budget, lol

it really cleans up the firewall , I am looking at going manual too

Troy - do you still have 6 bottles of spray detailer in your trunk? Does it help with weight transfer? :-)

**Martin0660** · 12-01-2016, 03:49 PM

I have seen him remove the spray detailer, floor mats, and custom made trunk mat at the track .... I bust his balls, but have seen him race.

i have also seen Joe dump 2/3rds a quart of expensive spray detailer in his trunk.

just say no to spray detailer.

that was not fun but I did get the cars cleaned first

you cant have too much detailer , I use it for ballast on the street

**Martin0660** · 12-01-2016, 09:56 PM

Does the type of tire shine affect what RPM you leave at or what pressure you put in the tires?

does any of this help me with manual brake parts?

**yeahloh95** · 12-02-2016, 08:01 AM

what about the strange manual kit seems pretty good I like the maximum motorsports one too

**TooFast98Cobra** · 12-02-2016, 09:21 AM

Skrc on my notchand i had the aeropace kit on my cobra. Same as strange.

I'm likely going to order the Skinny Kid kit unless I turn up something similar

**Hawkeye** · 12-06-2016, 07:57 PM

So Bob, I've been entertaining doing this as well to my 93. Not to derail the thread but.... With the skinny kid kit, what else do you need to do to make this work? I have a 5 lug conversion with Lincoln rotors up front and drums in the back. What did you find out about the required mods to make this work?

**yeahloh95** · 12-06-2016, 09:43 PM

I have read rear disc are the smart way to go

**Martin0660** · 12-06-2016, 09:56 PM

In the end, you need to modify the pick up point on the pedal for the proper ratio. If you use a kit that don't, you will end up with a hard pedal.

the better kits I've seen seem to be the one from Skinny Kid race cars or Jegs has a similar kit.

i will add a manual proprtioning valve as I have an odd combo of brakes with front willwoods (4 pot) and SVO rear discs (big Pistons). Still might need to change master cylinder bore but to be seen.
