How do you stop?

[skipnrocks]

I have a buggy on tons with 42s. I originally was going to run a gmc hydro boost but it's so big. What do you use? Can you get away with straight man power brakes like cnc or wildwood? Space is a feet issue so I can't have something with too much swing

My toyota buggy has 42" iroks and manual wilwood brakes. Seems to do fine.

Do you know what size master cylinder(s) you're running with what length pedals? Discs front and rear on yota axles I'm assuming...

Manual brakes in both buggy's I have had and no issues or complaints.

With manual what size bore on 1 tons?

 

[zjtrey]

can you be more specific? which calipers are you running front and rear?

Yota mini truck axles, stock front brakes, gm rear disc, I'll try to look at the other stuff tonight.

Edit, pedals are 10" and I think it is a 1" bore.

Re: How do you stop?

WOD has a killer hydroboost that comes complete with booster, master cylinder and pedal assembly. It is much smaller than a Chevy truck unit and it works great.

Any idea on how it compares in size to the mustang one? I have heard their small but haven't located one yet?

I've never seen the Mustang setup.

I used a hydroboost unit out of a 85 Chevy K30 on my last jeep. Used the stock Jeep pedal with it. You don't need much pedal swing to lock up 39 on asphalt with it when the vehicle is running, needed about 3 inches if the motor shut down and the nitrogen shot was depleted. It used the old cast iron master cylinder/reservoir combo. It fit in less space than the stock jeep master and vacuum booster combo. For my buggy build I purchased a 2005 Chevy 3500 hydro and master combo and it is HUGE. Not sure if I want to run it or look for something smaller.
