Thread: 35 inch tyres.

Sweet, as I have only just fitted vented discs about 5k ago this should be a very easy job.

would be nice to throw away the anchor - it would free up some space (it might even make the missus like it a bit more)

You need 4 calipers, they have larger pistons and good to match

If its good to match then wouldn't it make sense to use the MC as well. common sense would say that larger pistons would require a larger MC to give them appropriate pressure! I need to make sure 100% so when i take mine for engineers i have it spot on.

Not really, mismatching piston size dramatically changes the bias between front and rear, different master will effect pedal effort

So if i wanted a better pedal & better brakes then go the Master and Calipers! and when my disks wear go for the ventilated units

Would changing to defender calipers, booster and MC would require an engineers approval?

I'm going to need engineers approval anyway so as long as they work better than original then i'm one step ahead
