Master Cylinder

[Yates]

keep reading bout this, will it improve my brakes even more? i have gti 6 at the moment, brakes are fine, much better than standard

any point in upgrading?

[Predator_R32]

wouldnt bother matt, is it only the master cylinder you have or do you have upgrade pads discs and calipers??

might be worth getting some braided hoses

[Yates]

got braided hoses, i have the brakes set up, just not master cyclinder, just wonderin if there wa any point gettin one

[stevenet15]

the mc jsut takes the pedal travel out of the brakes so if ur pedal travel is ok then not much point. on mine when i pit the gti6 on my pedal had to be pushed half way before the brakes worked so i fitted a 23.8mm one and now i just have to touch the pedal and it brakes

how much did it set you back steve? does it catch on the bonnet?

[Predator_R32]

cheers for the rep too :)

Steve can you get hold of the MC's cheap or was yours a one-off find? I need one at the end of the month for mine.

i had two gti6 23mm ones last week but i solt them and the scrap yard i get them from havent got any left. if you have a vtr u need a 4 port 23mm mc( can get off 406's) if u have a vts u need a 2 port mc (gti6 & 406's with abs)

Have you got alot of travel in your pedal then Matt?

[williamsvts]

i can get plenty MCs.

[craig180]

I've always though I should uprate my MC as I have 6 pots on the front with large pistons and I find I've got to push about half way down before they start to bite. Somebody going to supply me with one - or even better, fit it for me!

theres a job for you then williams, get me the gti 6 one, how much to fit ;) can also fit my braided hoses if you want ;)

[stevenet15]

there is a gti6 one at the scrappy near me but its a bit of a mission but if i go up there anytime soon i will get it for u if u havent got one off williams by then

[Yates]

[williamsvts]

doesnt matter if there off a sprot model car. most the bigger pugs have the bigger MCs. will get you 1 next week.
