Hello Plums

In the May 2006 issue of Snaketales there's an article on brake upgrades by Hoppers Stoppers (brake specialists near Melbourne)

The article mentions the disc Phil is talking about - and says...

'A reaction disc is a small rubber disc which lives under the head of the booster output pushrod. If this is lost, the brakes will be nearly uncontrollable with stopping proportional to pedal position, not pedal effort, sending you through the windscreen with the slightest touch'

I initially thought that I had this problem but it turned out that i just had very powerful brakes - jag 4 spot assisted in a light car, after a few drives i stopped skidding to a stop and then began enjoying the drive.
