Re: Brake Master Cylinder

[Eric Sturgis <ericsturgis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well I bought this one.  From Autozone.  However I am having a problem with my conversion.  I can not get the brakes to lock up at all.  They do work very well, and I bought Ceramic pads and was told it will take a few hundred miles for them to get "run in".  Well I've waited...and I have to still STAND on my brakes to make the car stop.  It was suposed to be a bore of 0.937" (15/16") but I think it may be a bit bigger....1 1/32" and yes it would make a very large difference in stoping power.  If it was power brakes it wouldn't be a big deal....but it is a big deal with manual brakes.  I could have gotten the wrong part, or they could have made a misteke and givin me the larger size when they shouldn't have.  But even though I can't get the brakes to lock up...it is so MUCH better. 

 

I will give you an update as soon as I figure it out.

Eric How did that combination work for you, does it stop good without
excessive pedal pressure? do you know the manufacturer and part
number?  From what I have founfd there are a lot of M/C that would
bolt in. Seems that all the disc brake ones use at least an 1 -1/32 "
piston. ...........................MO
