Default Re: Brake kit

Ted's a heathen, he adapted Bendix's idea to a Ford design.. Some nerve figuring out self energizing brakes, hell he ain't even American. I was skeptical at first, I figured wear would be uneven and accelerated but after driving it that's acceptable.. I couldn't believe it when I jumped on mine after install, the nose of the car dipped.
Stands to reason, centrifugal engagement has been around for decades, Ford resisted it..Funny Bendix prevailed with Ford twice.. once with the starter drive, the other with self energizing brakes,both time's with Mr Ford still around,damn few folks can say that..
