jimbo1593,

I considered that, but I wanted to keep things simple this early on since I'll be fabricating an entirely new pedal assembly. When that time comes though I do want to have bushings on everything that pivots. I'll machine them from either oil-impregnated sintered bronze or Delrin plastic.


Trommel,

Sounds bad, care to post a pic?


I found an excellent 9 page tech article explaining all the things to consider when doing custom braking system design. After reading it I'm convinced that a fully manual dual master cylinder/balance bar setup is the way to go for my wagon. I've been wanting to try this kind of setup for years and now is the perfect chance to do so. I'll probably use this pedal assembly from Wilwood Engineering to make it easier. To line up properly I'd have to fabricate longer, 14" pedal arms for it though.
