This time on Tech Tuesday Jake Burkey goes over how to make manual brakes that don't suck! Many people struggle with brakes when it comes to their Rock Bouncer Build or any off road vehicle in general. Now for many the best option is to install a hydroboost brake system which gives you 4 times the braking power. But what if you can't make hydroboost brakes fit or you are a racer and want the simplest setup possible. If that sounds like you then Manual Brakes is what you need. We break down the common question of how do manual brakes work? The trick is matching the right components for your off road braking system. We start at the rotors and calipers and work our way all the way to brake lines, master cylinder, and possible the most important part your brake pedal. Most aftermarket brake pedals are a 6:1 ratio which make it difficult to get the right leverage on your brakes. Well Busted Knuckle Off Road has a custom long brake pedal that has a 9:1 pedal ratio which makes it way easier to get the right leverage so you can have manual brakes that actually work great!

Pedal travel X Master Cylinder PSI (Due to size) = pressure on the caliper piston(s) effecting the rotor size, pad contact, rotating mass of wheel in diameter (4X4 / 4X2) equals clamping force based up pads sq. In. X frictional coefficient equals stop or not stopping. Two feet is option! Excellent video and calculation! ASE Master Tech since 1978 - Retired. Great job.

Most informative video I've seen on this subject. I assume the math works just as well on a 3000-3500 lb street car? What about different brake pad materials ...giving up longevity for better braking?

That spreadsheet formula is bad ass. At least a good starting point. How much longer is your pedal compared to the Wilwood and do you make one for the clutch too. I think I would have to move my brake clutch pedal mount up a couple inches if I dont my feet would hit the floor. is that pedal you showed us like 3" longer? Oh and I noticed the post is 3 years old. Are you still making these? Oh and my wilwood pedals are 12" long from upper mounting pivot rod to bottom of the pedal pad.

In this video you said you previously went over hydroboost brakes in another video but I do not see any videos that cover it in your channel?

so getting ready to re do the breaks on my rockwell axels that are pinion breaks got any thing for them? or what would you recommend for me to use

@BustedKnuckleOffRoad 3 жыл бұрын

We don't mess with a lot of rockwells. Best bet is to switch to a lightweight brake package at each wheel.

Do you see a problem with dual masters both with a pedal?

@bustedknuckleoffroadllc5060 3 жыл бұрын

For sure, there is no difference between that and having two masters and one pedal. The input force of your foot on the pedal is divided between the 2 master cylinders. You will have to push twice as hard as if you only had one master. (Master cyl bores being equal sized)
