Description

Brake System - Dual The hydraulic brake system is a diagonally split system with a dual piston master cylinder. The left front and right rear are on one brake circuit, while the right front and left rear are on another brake circuit.


A dual proportioning valve regulates hydraulic pressure in the rear brake circuit. When the brake pedal is applied, full rear brake circuit pressure passes through the proportioning valve to the rear brake circuit until the valve's split point is reached. Above the split point, the proportioning valve begins to reduce hydraulic pressure to the rear brake circuit, creating a balanced braking condition between the front and rear wheels while maintaining balanced hydraulic pressure at each rear wheel. Double-walled steel tubing extends from the master cylinder pressure fittings to the rear wheel cylinders and front calipers. Flexible hoses make the final connection between the body-mounted brake tubes and the suspension-mounted brake assemblies.
