Omission in Brakes FAQ in "Volvo Maintenance FAQ for 7xx/9xx/90 Cars 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Orlando on  Tue Jun 19 00:19 CST 2018 [RELATED]

Generally I found the Brakes FAQ helpful in my "Jumbo" brakes upgrade swap (near the bottom of the Brakes FAQ).

Where I got into trouble was in the excess front brake line removal (dual-line Bendix front calipers to single-line jumbo calipers) and plugging the unused ports on the MC and junction block.

The FAQ does not mention the importance of which of the (now) extra lines/ports to remove/plug and in fact the photos show disconnecting the upper of each sides dual lines.

When I did this, I had braking only in the RR corner, because it ultimately created an unbalanced situation with 3 corners being fed from one of the MC cylinders, and one corner from the other.

All was well after moving the port plugs and lines around so each MC cylinder was feeding two corners.

Is there a way to edit/improve the FAQ to include this important information?
