Brake Tech question

[Trev]

I need a really simple explanation on the workings of rear brake cylinders.
Q1. When using Hr front disc boosted what cylinders do I use for the rear if the rear is not boosted?
Q2. When boosting the front disc and back drum what rear cylinders do I use?

If the rear is not boosted then drum brake front rear cylinders can be used and if boosting front and rear the smaller bore disc front rear cylinders are used.

Yep - the "boosted" rear cylinders are 9/16" bore.

Asked the same question to Terry at Hydroboost about a year ago and he also said to use the HD/HR rear wheel cylinders applicable to a drum braked front end if using a front boosted only HR disc front end.
