Another master cylinder question
« on: April 15, 2006, 08:43:42 AM »

I have converted my front drums to Wildwood discs and changed to a MoPar Performance master 2 bolt master cylinder. The brakes work well, but require a lot of leg pressure. Can anybody tell me which aluminum master cylinders have the smallest bore so I can decrease the leg cramps?

The brake pedal has both a power and a manual hole for the pushrod. I am using the upper hole for the most leverage. Maybe I am being too critical, but I think that the brakes should be better. I wouldn't want to get into a panic situation with them.
