[ihc] Satcy's stop-not



Could someone tell me which port out of the master cyl goes to which axle?
Right now I have the rear port plumbed into the front axle, just because
that was the way it was before, and the line sizes seemed to jive up that
way. (the front plumbing uses larger diameter lines than the rear, and the
rear port is the larger of the two.)

What else can I check? Anybody else had this problem?
Larger reservoir connects to the front brakes in the stock system. Disk calipers require more fluid volume in the reservoir than drums to account for pad wear. Stock SII m/c is less than ideal for 4 wheel disks, really ought to be using a 4 wheel disk m/c with equal reservoir sizes and the same bore dia.(1.125 IIRC) as the stock SII unit.

I suspect booster rod stickout is too great, using up some of the m/c stroke. All the SII's I've driven have quite a bit of pedal travel, enough to put the pedal pretty close to the floor in a hard stop. Are the front flex hoses new? Old hoses can act as fluid restrictors.
