Davo

At the bottom of that link it mentioned that vh 44 was suitable for Drum/Drum and VH 40 was suitable for Disk/Drum

Hope this helps

Hi Davo,
The south coast brake resleeving guy at Olympic circuit southport I used recommends a VH44 for our setup or VH 44J for slightly more boost. He has the genuine PBR parts to put together either model there.

Don't go and buy a Chinese copy of it as they don't last long he advised.

Cheers,
Lewis.

That's Terry's business. Top bloke and a good mate. Based in Echuca and does mail order.
Is the only guy I use for these things.

Just saying "use a 40" or "use a 44" isn't enuf info. Both have different output pressures depending on application.
The 44J is the one u need for a Bellett. The J has the same output pressure as a normal 40, but obviously in a more compact size.
