Brake Cylinder Rear Brake Removal

Dear Community,

 

I have a theoretical question regarding the operation of brake master cylinder. What I have learnt is that in vehicles we have master cylinder operating front brakes and rear brakes in a 1+1 configuration. This means that if one of the brakes fails, the other is there to stop the vehicle. For this the master cylinder has two outputs, one connected to front brakes and one to rear brakes. Now I wanted to know that is it possible to simply block/lock the master cylinder output for rear brakes. I am intending to remove the brakes entirely from my hobby vehicle. For sure this shall have an impact on braking force but I wanted to understand if master cylinder can be somehow disconnected from rear brakes.

Thanks.

You can block of the rear line but its not adviseable and a safety issue. Are you looking to drift the car? What type of car is it?

Right, So its supposed to be an electric vehicle and I am trying to brake it with regeneration.  Do you know if it could be done on Master Cylinder directly? Can I connect both outlets to front brake lines?

      sport brake pads for rear ok?
      By LEarn492
      Hi i have a 2006 g35x that i just got. i put sport pads in the front becuase i used them on my old car and loved the extra power that they gave me. i need new rear pads too, my question is will putting sport pads in the rear mess up my car's handling or braking? like it won't mess with the brake bias, the system that alters brake pressure to each wheel, make my car more likely to fishtail or anything like that when i hit the brakes in a corner right? it'll just give me more stopping power? i'm thinking this as all the companies sell sport pads for rear too. anyone here done this before? any tips? thanks.
