Vegas,

I bet you are getting alot of sleep about now, waiting is the hardest part LOL!!

"Real" Engineers do not make any money!!! This is a great forum where I read and respond, complain and learn alot. I personnaly would never make any changes to a safety critical system such as brakes (how do you like those engineering terms) without the manufactures approval. SPF knows of the problem, I am sure they are working on it, their response time could be better IMHO and in the end it will all settle out. If it helps for people to vent here so be it and if it helps SPF find a solution even better but for me they are the final say.

I do beleive some of the SPF with the current 34MM set up are stopping in an acceptable manner or their owners would be chiming in or they have not pushed the cars yet as far as performance.

I know vacuum plays a role. On my last cobra it did not have an automatic choke and when I stopped in the morning the engine would try to die I would loose brakes. Installed a choke and problem vanished.

That sums up my experience with brakes, I have no doubt I could become an expert if I wanted but I would rather get plowed on my boat on Saturdays, or waxing my car, or driving my car, or looking for my toy then doing brake design.
