Sorry Keith, but this is just wrong. Both MCs are the same diameter (3/4") so the pedal pressure will be unchanged. Changing to a tandem MC has NO effect on the pressure. Proportioning is also unchanged; that has only to do with weight distribution and the sizes of the cylinders in the F vs rear wheels. You'll run into this problem if you try to put calipers on the rear, however. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
