Welcome to the forum....

I take it from your post that you have spent a lot of time on brakes either as a career or a hobbie.

I appreciate your comments but you have been quite bold, you have forgotten that we are all here to learn and perhaps we don't get it correct first time, so we ask a few questions and realise our mistakes then do it better.

I assume you have done your reading of this site, as you have mentioned that it was perhaps by luck that I matched my components better, judging by some of my other comments. I realised I had a problem with miss matched components very soon after assembling things, so went about to correct it.

You don't have to worry about poorly selected parts ending up on cars where I come from, the Land Transport Safety Authority has a very strict set of rules, and all modified cars have to be given an engineers approval before they can be sent through the standard set of safety tests that is required for every car on the road, MOT in the UK, Warrant of Fitness here in NZ, and it is tougher than the MOT. There are large fines for those that choose not to comply.

I do appreciate your concern though. Brakes and suspensions are components that cannot be worked on lightly. If they fail the results can be life threatening, as opposed to an engine that gives up.

I hope you are able to stick around and share some more of your knowledge, and tell us a little about your own projects.

Thanks
Jeremy
