Hi folks,
I’m just looking for some opinions on what I can do with a fairly limited budget, even though I think I may know the inevitable answer.
Basically, in a nutshell, by brakes are sh!te, and ive no confidence in them.
In autotests and targa rallies I need to have confidence in the brakes, as we do a lot of very frequent hard braking, and I just don’t.
There’s no real bite, and it dives to the left or right depending on which way the wind is blowing which is really annoying me. It could lock the left or front wheel first on any given day.
The current setup is as follows:
Rebuilt M16 calipers, new pistons, working perfectly.
Practically new Mintex m1144
New disks
OBP hydraulic handbrake (simple in out to the rear setup
1600 ghia 9” rear drums
Mk2 1300 non-servo master cylinder (which I think is the achillles heel)
With the exception of a pedal box for the moment, is there an off the shelf decent master cylinder I can get to replace the non servo one I have?
I don’t mind having to weld/machine/make a rod to fit the pedal, that’s no problem – but im wondering is there a cylinder available for this purpose ?
Any other opinions?
Thanks!
