[DeTomaso] dual rear calipers

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

I would expect a prop valve in the rear circuit to be necessary.

fairly straightforward procedure. You just bolt a second set of calipers
on the rear, and remove the pressure reduction valve in the front. Run a
T-fitting from the two rear flex hoses to the hard line on each side,
and you're in business. It adds a ton of weight, and there are far, far
better ways to get improved braking, but if you have a spare set of
stock calipers lying around, then it's an almost no-cost upgrade. I
wouldn't buy a set of calipers to do this though. Mike
