Re: Brake Master Cylinder



I found a website that was great info and helped me sort out my brakes on my 64 440. www.thebrakeman.com. Lots to read on their website. Go to tech page and find the 2 articles on understand brake valves. Their phone is 805 987 7867 and they say to call with any questions too! I got my m/c from mp Brakes - www.mpbrakes.com . The factory manual say your car should have 10" rear drums, 15/16" rear wheel cylinders and m/c is 1" bore. Ruth

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.

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
