Dear Jack,
I have Dennis Quella's mondo system with the big vented rotors
13" plus front six piston calipers and rear four piston calipers plus the
dual front master cylinder with a balance bar. I don't know what pads I
have, but they are not full race.
IMHO, I don't think you need the 2 psi residual valves. I
can't comment on the noisy brake pads as I have not had that problem. I
think that a balance bar or proportioning valve will be necessary to
optimize the brakes.
Do you have Bob Woodhouse's old car? Do you know Bob?
Warmest regards and good luck, Chuck Engles
