Im thinking of losing the power brakes for non-power brakes with big front disc brakes & rear disks to get more feel on the brakes.

I hear the 1" corvette manual master cylinder works. Anyone done it, and do you have to jump on the brakes?

Cheers!

Out of necessity I have run big disc non-power brakes, not in my Elky but in my '55 and I wouldn't recommend it unless you have no choice. While the pedal effort is not as great as with drum brakes it is still considerable.

Ok, but with power brakes are you able to adjust the power part to have more feel, or is the power system non-adjustable?
