Default Re: What Master Cylinder

Before changing to a dual, take a look at this thread, https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...aster+cylinder
You may not get extra safety with the dual, but certainly no worse than a single.

I like the stepped bore change on my '32

I agree with this. I have a '99 F150. I lost the rear brakes (rusted out line) and I barely got it stopped. A couple of years later (I live in Minnesota), another rusted out line (this time on the front) and I had no brakes at all. If the factory can't do it, it will take some advanced engineering and testing to get a functional system.

So if I was to keep my original single master cylinder with 1 inch bore, that still works with my front wheel cylinders that are 1.25x1?

I also like the idea of stepped bore change especially since I already have residual valves installed
