Recently, I converted a 78
Chrysler NYB St Regis coupe to 4 wheel disc brakes from a 75 Imperial. One weird
thing I noticed was a small brass restrictor that screwed into the rear disc
(front) brake reservoir in the master cylinder. This restrictor greatly reduces
the flow from the reservoir to the piston area. The restrictor was only
included on the original master cylinder I got off of the 75 Imperial. Rebuilt
master cylinders did not include it. Can anyone tell me the purpose of this
restrictor, and what the effects would be in not using it. I will finish the
conversion tomorrow and let the list know how it works. I will also be using the
Brake Guard pulsing system. This is a Air/Hydraulic system that mounts between
the outlet of the master cylinder and the lines to the proportioning valve. I
have used them on heavy cars and RV's before and found them to be quite
effective. There are a few law suits on them, but they work well for me on
heavy cars. Does anyone understand the
purpose of this master cylinder reservoir restrictor? Henry Roswell, GA |
