Brake System

The Production racing rules allow the use of any master cylinders and pedals. With that in mind a set of Tilton adjustable pedals with dual master cylinders (clutch also) were used. These units are a more durable than stock units and you can vary the bore size to suit. Another big advantage is getting them away from the heat in the engine compartment.
