Generally, brake pedal force on factory vehicles is somewhat controlled by public feedback, but mostly DOT maximums allowed during required testing the vehicles have to adhere to, and is a good guide when building a custom system. Last edited by V8 Bob; 01-11-2015 at 07:27 PM. |

Re: Master cylinder conversion
Bobs explanation 0f how each circuit is independent is how I always believed it worked on a duel M/C .I recently did a conversion from a single M/C to a duel type ,went from !" down to 7/8 M/C .I had a lot of pedal travel and was about to go to a bigger M/C but decided to re bleed them ,the bleeder was one were you couldn't get a hose on it and could easily trap air so I gave the longest one (left rear wheel ) a another good bleed and suddenly I got a good pedal .On a drum system I suggest soft lining on the front if you are not using a Vac booster .Ted

Re: Master cylinder conversion
Here are a couple of 1 /16" Bore Wagner Master Cylinder numbers for those that might be interested in a dual bore master cylinder.
Your parts store can probably cross them to the make that they carry, if they don't have Wagner available. MC 97936, 1/2-20, & 9/16-18 outlets on the right side. MC 97938, 3/8-24, & 7/16-24 '' '' '' '' MC 102420, 1/2-20, & 9/16-18 outlets on the left side. MC 102421, 3/8-24, & 7/16-24 '' '' '' '' These are slightly taller than the popular Ford master cylinders, so check your space available. Last edited by HemiDeuce; 01-12-2015 at 07:14 PM. |

Re: Master cylinder conversion
My problem was that after installing dual mc,using the inboard ports,I found that the exhaust was too close to the brake lines.I fabricated an exhaust section that turned down from the header,turned towards the rear,below botton flange of the frame,then gradually back up to the muffler.M.C.had ports on both sides,I should have used outboard ports.Didn't want to redo brake lines.
