Brakes Bendix style

Understand (i think) the RPV on the front and the APV on rear.

For what it's worth, "super easy to install" does not necessarily make a GOOD disc brake set-up. There isn't much that's more disappointing than a "half way engineered" disc brake system. Have you ever STOOD on the brake pedal on a car with a 'non-correctly-sized M/C, wondering when it's gonna begin slowing down? And the same question for a disc brake set-up WITHOUT a power brake booster? Disc brakes are "non-self-energizing", and require a LOT of pressure. It's your car, and I wish you well. But.....I'd bet $1.25 that you will end up being a much happier camper with the 2"-shoe Bendix Lincoln brakes on the front. THEY WORK........Period! DD
