Brake Education

[Fishcop]

With all the brake topics of late, I've realised just how little I know about them. Can anyone put me on to some good books or websites that break down brakes (sic) to layman's terms. I'm after info about how different master cylinders and line diameters effect brake systems etc...

Cheers

Hi John,
There are several, but Fred Puhn's Brake Handbook is often quoted and is an excellent source of basic and motorsport braking information. I have a pic of his book on my website.

Thanks Sherwood, another item for the Christmas Stocking. Oh no, another year gone!

Not exactly spot on to your question, but this is a great primer on brake performance issues.

Again, this is a bit off topic, but this article on Rennsport is a good quick summary of Porsche brake systems. See:
