Default Re: What are the advantages of upgrading to Hydraulic Braks

I think you answered you own question when you stated, My'35 brakes work well but not good enough for traffic these days. Just saying......" and then following up with " I understand that the use of hydraulics multiplies the force applied to the pedal, (requiring less force from the driver)..."

Some folks may not be strong enough to consistently apply the force needed to make mechanical brakes perform to their max when needed. Just not efficient.

Surely, Henry Ford did some research on this. As vehicles became heavier and larger improved braking systems were needed.
