Manual brake conversion
I want to get rid of my power brakes and do a manual brake set up. Anyone done this? Pics? Does anything special have to be done during the install?

I did it for weight. It stops like a dump truck. 2 foot stops sometimes if you need to woah it down quick. Drilled the pedal hole for the pivot one inch up and used burkhart stuff with the brace. I made some 100+ passes in the 1/8 stopped fine in the run down. Just not the most fun to drive on the streets. I am looking in to some more aggressive brake pads to help with that, but it works like it should.

any manual brake setup will require more pedal effort than the stock style power assist setup... thats the whole reason behind "power assist" brakes. If the system is setup correct(line size, master cylinder bore, caliper volume, proportioning, ect) then it really isn't all that bad.
