have got the vt 2 pot caliper setup and im having trouble with them sticking.guys got any ideas as to what maybe causing this?

r they new calipers? if not slides arent siezed r they?

pm adam hes got these i think, he may have vx ss???

Take your foot off the pedal heh heh heh....sorry had to say it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

slides are ok, its just when they get hot they stick

Have you got a 1" master?

check the caliper retraction with a crow bar and the caliper off the car, this will confirm if there is pressure loss or lack of vacum, more likely they just need an overhaul.

ahha i might be the lack of vacuum as there is a hiss from the booster, Alex, no not got 1" master got 1 1/4" master

well i fixed the booster leak but they still stick

anyone got standard VT style brake hoses?i still cant find the problem and its annoying

so its been a while and i think i have found the problem....the boost pressure is causing them to stay on. has anyone had this problem as how do i fix it?

Dodgy vaccum check valve, where the hose plugs into the booster. worth a look.

any one else done this upgrade and had similar problems ok finally figured out that the vacum is pressing the pedal down by itself,how do i fix this? cant take vacum away as the pedal will be too hard to use

finally this setup works well Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

how much free travel hav u got, engine running?

why what you got? its not much but would like less but its a bit tricky getting the ballance just right, lot to long or not too short if you know what im talking about

u've changed the booster and master aswell right? if u havent set yourself enuff free travel the brakes will stick after a few depresses of the pedal. you want about 1-2 inches i would say

yeh i they were sticking with the vs/vt combo but worked really well, just that the vacum was making them stick, and what you mean about 1-2 inches?

i dont think that vacuum would be the problem There should be an adjustable pushrod between the booster and the master(bolt and locknut). It should be adjusted so that u have about 1 - 2 inches of freeplay at the pedal before the brakes take up. If the freeplay is insuffecient the piston in the master cyl will not retract far enough for the fuid to escape back to the resevoir

nah none of the vl or the vlt boosters are adjustible but you cleared that up thanks.why was it that when the vacum line was taken off(when brake were locked on) they released instantly? im sure that the vacume slightly makes the push rop push or rest in the m/c enought to hold then locked on .
