I Know What You'll All Say "Bad Idea" "Silly Idea" But When The Inevitable Happens And My Shoes Go Could I Just Put Bleed Nipples In The Tea Peace And Do Away With The Back Brakes Altogether?
As Would Only Ever Be Used For Pay&Play?

Re: Back Brakes
I would always recommend max braking.
It would work though.

Re: Back Brakes
If you were doing away with the back brakes just blank off the split in the engine bay.
It is a bad idea though. With rear drums the braking is bad enough. Just front discs would be suicidal to me.

Re: Back Brakes
Personally I think it's a very stupid idea only running front brakes, even offroad only.
