need help with aerospace brakes

Have you said what the bore diameter of the M/C is?

I was advised to put a 7/8" bore m/c on my car from Wilwood.

Just wondering.

The strange cylinder is a 1-1/8"...

You shouldnt need a prop valve, SKRC told me the same thing years ago. What size lines are you using? Braided or hard line?

So you have lines coming out of two ports on the line lock going to the front wheels?

hey man, did you ever fing out why your brakes are not working correctly? i just put aerospace brakes on my car and mine is doing the same thing. can't get the brakes / line lock to hold the car. my stock brakes i had no prob with? if you got them fixed or if anybody else is reading this and mite be able to help it would be greatly appreciated.i'm at my wits end with this problem. thanks

One of the things I noticed on mine is that I had to plumb the front brakes to the front port/rear to rear port. Granted it's not a Mustang (Maverick) but still Aerospace brakes. 2 piston front and 4 piston rear (helps when staging a bracket car).

Pedal ratio on mine is 6.91:1.

My brakes are a bit like that too. They just don't work as well as I thought they should. I pulled the system apart last year (calipers) and checked them. Rears were perfect. Fronts...the calipers were sticking. Found that the bores were chewed up. Called Aerospace. Response was "it happens". I asked why and response was "misalignment". Misalignment my foot. They were installed absolutely perfect...and they are to this day. And they still don't stop as well as they should. After talking to some fellow racers about the same issue, the consensus is that Aerospace sucks, plain and simple...and they're "lack" of customer service just makes matters worse. They are cheaper than Strange or Lamb, etc...but apparently you get what you pay for. I HAD to replace both calipers--was scheduled to race in 2 weeks of that time, so I ordered two new calipers from Aerospace. That will be the last $250 I ever spend with them. The customer service totally turned me away. I love the fact that they're an American company but man, when someome makes a call looking for some insight, even if they tell me I'm screwed I'd understand...but admitting that they have seen that problem before + the short attitude did it in for me. I will have to replace the rotors soon and you betchya I'll buy from someone else.

In trying to figure out why the pedal was hard but very little braking power, I called them several times and each time the answers were the same. One word answers, seemed like they were too busy to assist me with my $1200 investment. $1200 isnt much when talking about race cars but when you have to work 140 hours to earn that, it pisses you off when you get a product that is inferior. I actually got more information out of Strange...even though my system was all Aerospace.

Also...it might be worthwhile to ask about a softer pad. I've had my pads since I put the rear calipers on in 2002 and I'm HARD on them (parking at the finish line at 150+, etc) and they still look perfect. Apparently the pad material is pretty hard. Even the stock replacement S10 pads that WERE on the car prior to Aerospace--I usually got a season out fo them and they were done. And that brake setup worked 10x better than Aerospace stuff does.
