[DeTomaso] Wilwood Brakes WTF????

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Must be an American thing. Euro master cylinders I've come across have
no valves built into them.

Disc brakes require 2 psi residual pressure valves.Drum brakes have 10
psi. valves.
Most master cylinders have them under the flare seat  where the brake
lines are screwed in thats why you do not normally see them or think
about them.
Without the residual pressure the pistons retract much further in the
caliper and there is a delay while the piston has to travel further
before it contacts the rotor.Not good as seconds count in braking
distance!
Mike's valves are "add ons" because his master cylinder does not have
any valves built in.His valve pressure is correct as the pads did not
drag on the rotors before the pad wear/cocked pad happened.
Just what i have learned from playing with lots of cars  :  )
