What about doing this on a normal (not disc-braked) truck? My 109s front
brakes seem plenty able to stop me headed forward, but off road on steep
hills, I have to MASH on the pedal to keep from going backwards when I
stop. It's not the most confidence-inspiring feeling as you gather your
wits, look at lines, and play w/ the tranny brake and clutch in
preparation for your next run . . .
If everyone says this is a good idea, I'll be quite sad about giving away
my spare 11" backing plates a few years back . . .
An added benefit of this would be that it would make bleeding both the
front and rear axle a big ol' PITA.
A drawback might be that the "rear circuit" part of the master ain't
designed to operate two slaves per wheel . . .
