rear disk conversion.
Hello I have a question about the rear disk brakes conversion I'm doing.. ok so I'm not doing to typical kit you buy I am piecing it together... so my question is I'm planning on running a set of front calipers and rotors off a 1500 chevy pickup.. since they are much larger then the normal single piston ones in the kit.. So would it be best to upgrade the master cylinder to a 1in and put a 2lb residual valve or should I run a 10lb residual valve since they are so big? Any info would be greatly appreciated thank you

I did pick up a manual proportioning valve that I have set up right off the master cylinder for the rear to take the stock one off but would that by itself be enough for the set up?

I don't remember years but some Stock MCs don't require a residual valve. I've only read about using 2lbs valves, 10 lbs seems a bit much, like a dragging caliper. But you planning a unique set up so gonna have to search and maybe trial and error. Seems like price wasn't bad for them on summit.

Yeah I think I'm going to try the trial and error method.. because i can always just break the line and splice a residual valve up by the frame without to much trouble.. I was just concerned that with such large calipers I might have to much break force for the back but I'll just have to wait and see how it does

Well I got it all together and with a 1" master the proportioning valve and a 2 lbs residual valve everything works in harmony even with those huge calipers.. but now I have a new problem. I have a hydraulic line lock in line with the system and it works beautifully for a certain amount of time but then for some reason it pops out thus loosing the parking break... now I was wondering is that just a flaw of the push button hydraulic line lock or if it's the residual valve because as I can see I have no leaks in the system.

Yeah I've read that also. And that would be ideal but since they are pretty pricey k decided to go with the button for time being until further upgrades. But what I don't get is that some forklifts at my job had the line locks but the perform just fine
