Ive upgraded the fronts to 11.25" brakes on Woody but the rear drums aren't doing sh!t:mad: Full stomp on the brake pedal and the rears are still barely functioning. Ive changed out the rear leafs for some de-arched LWB leafs but lost the auto adjusting rear load sensing feature in the process.
I tried safety wiring the little pressure valve to 'full load' simulation with no real gain/effect. I do get fluid from both rear calipers when bleeding but theres just no lock up. Im thinking of just omitting that rear distribution valve/block out of the system with a couple of female/female short brake lines. The fronts are doing all the work right now. I just discovered this when replacing the front pads and cutting the rotors today. Any other ideas or thoughts on getting the rear drums to pull their weight so to speak? I did adjust the shoes with the star wheel until they drag just a little. E brake works awesome now but no real effect on braking afterwards. Any Mini owners been thru this?
