Re: [DML] X-ref: Brake calipers and master cylinder

I had never noticed this..If smaller-they can't be that much smaller
then the DeLorean Calipers. With these Jaguar calipers installed I
notice no
decrease in stopping power, and have been working/stopping fine for a
long time now. I
believe it would have more to do with the area of your brake pads that
contact the rotor that will determine your stopping power. The fluid:
as long as you have pressure in your system-the piston is going to
push the pads against the rotor. People will buy their parts from
where they please-I know first hand you've [John Hervey] got great
parts and prices,
it's nothing against you or any other vendors- I just wanted to let
people know that I experimented with these parts and have had them on
for a long time with no noticed problems or differences. And for the
people who have trouble affording parts-there is a cheaper alternative
that will work just as well. -----Dani B.
