Master cylinder question
I have a 15/16 and a 1-1/16 bore MC, whitch one will give the softest pedal effort? I had heard this before but can't remember.

Re: Master cylinder question
You need to match the piston area of your calipers to the bore of your MC to get the best stopping power. Smaller bore give higher pressure if the pedal ratio is right.
Joe's Racing has a good article on Master cylinder math. Link below. https://www.joesracing.com/rt-4172-m...nder-math.html

Re: Master cylinder question
Pulled the snap ring from bore, saw its 1" just like the factory cylinder on a 70 Duster. New aluminum two bolt like factory, has the groove for rod lock. Bought at Carlilse in a box of parts, mc adapter, coil overs, a-arms, heim joints, proportioning valve and 10 lb residual valve, many misc parts, all for $100, all new. I'm using Strange disc on front, drums on back.
Thanks for replys Mike |
