but make sure you don’t overlook compliance (flexing) in the brake pedal, linkages and master cylinder, particularly for alfettas which have a shocking mount for the master cylinder/booster to the firewall.
This is definitely on the list too, I'm contemplating the difficulties of lathing up aluminium bushings to replace the rubber ones around the bar that crosses over from the pedal to the booster, and checked the freeplay in it the other night. I'm guessing that the other thing to do is reinforce the firewall where the pedal box and the booster mount to? I have also noticed that the Brembos seem to flex quite a bit when the pedal is pushed (like when bleeding brakes), not sure what to do about that other than possibly the 156 disc/volvo caliper conversion (which at this stage I'll leave until the V6 brakes prove themselves not up to the job).
I'm running QFM 750 degree pads in the Alfasud (only 900 odd kilos). Highly recommended, they have much more friction than the DS2500s I was running, although maybe take a little longer to come up to temperature.
Thats a good thought too, I was wondering whether QFM did race pads, as we buy a lot of pads off them through my work. Idle thought comes to mind that they may come up to temp quicker in the 1100 kilo Alfetta than the Sud?
