It could possibly be too small and require too much travel, the last time i checked falcons had a 15/16th bore master on them.

I have only ever seen 3/4 used on only 1 braking axle, eg car trailers and horse floats. They only have a short stroke so u may be out of luck.

the front axle needs to be the braking axle
