- If you want more stopping power for your IRS rear brake drums and can't afford disc brakes this trick might work for you. I replace the 18mm rear wheel brake cylinder with a 22mm front wheel cylinder and it changes the cars braking effect to give more power to the rear brakes.

E.Z.G.Z., you're a smart dude! Not kidding! Your, sand rail will nice!
That's kind of Cool ----- building ---- in your case a Sand Rail with parts you have had left over from other projects ----- and in your case ----- a Life time of collecting ------ Looks like it won't be too long and you'll be firing her up for the first trial run ------- Bet you can't wait ---- We had a couple of 70 degree days here in the Northwest ---- should be in the low to mid-fifties ---- was nice ------ Thanks for pointing out the --- Safety Tips --- making people aware ------ Glad you are doing Good ----- We shall catch you on your next one ------ Rodney
I've learnt so much over the years from your channel👍.
You've done a mountain of work well done.
Thanks! It is sure making the winter go by quickly
Having lots of the parts on hand makes the build go quickly. Getting all the adapters from metric to NPT and SAE and more can be a challenge to find a good supplier. Great progress GZ
Thanks for your support my friend. Still think about your V8 bug :-(
Awesome to see you. Welcome back. Thanks for sharing.
Hey EZ. Another useful video - thanks. One variation I use on my trials cars over here in the UK is to use Type 3 (Fastback) rear brakes with Super Beetle front wheel cylinders. That way you get increased friction surface from larger drums and brake shoes as well as more power from the larger bore cylinders. You are quite right about checking the position of the bleed nipple in relation to the brake pipe connection - don't ask how I know! 🤣 Another advantage is that if you need to strip the brakes down for any reason you don't have to undo the hub nut! Please keep the vids coming - you are the best on YT.
Great Point! Type 3 stuff is getting very hard to find around here these days. I appreciate your comment and support
Good info
have a tube chassis going to build
now I know why they don’t have front brakes
G'day Mr EZGZ,
You amaze me with what you do. This build is really coming along.
With swapping wheel cylinders: one thing to watch out for is if you're using aftermarket drums, some of these can rub on the wheel cylinder rubber boots.
So thanks for sharing man ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
Thanks Kevin! I might have to get some putty and check that out just for future reference
I made the mistake of putting the big cylinder in the back when i put disks on the front. Worked out well with a pressure regulator on the disks.
Good to know....
i added some 3/8in holes in the bottom of the backing plate to let the crud out,,,i even honed the front wheel cylinders out for more bore dia. used T3 drums and shoes on the rear and used the thin front shoes,, put my steering brake on the tunnel by the shifter so i didnt have to change hands to steer.. That way pull was to the right and push was left,,,the centrifical force of the car moves you more in that direction,,,,my first one had to handles,,,i started running to fast to use it ,,,LOL
Sounds like you had a sweet set up!
Thanks for the help !
Always good to see you. Great video too.
Hey, thanks
Hey really enjoyed your channel I do some vw restorations and i have learned even after working on them for 30 years.
Thanks 👍. We never stop learning. The older I get the more I have to relearn the same stuff. hehehe
Heck yea
Thanks for the help, you always explain things the best..
Thanks for the support
You bet! Thanks for checking in
Great info!
Most of it was painful to learn but glad I'm getting another chance to put it to use. I'm still learning and figuring out short cuts when I can.
👍
EZGZ, I missed something!
What engine did you drive your new build with? Rev. Jim… North Texas!
My old 74 x 88 1800. I took the dual carbs off and put on the single to make it more compact for removal and testing.
Hi there, another informative video! Have you ever included a brake bias valve rather than swapping front/rear brake cylinders?
No because there are no front brakes and the wheels and tires on rear are large and heavy. I just needed more power force
