manual disc brake master cylinder?
« on: May 23, 2009 - 08:28:01 PM »
I am moving from the stock manual drum brakes to manual disc brakes. I have the spindles and stuff from a 73 or so A body. I am having trouble sourcing the manual disc master cylinder. Nothing I am going to buy this second but I would like to have it located when the time comes. Thanks for any help.

I got mine from car quest. It was like 40 bucks or less. My bore on mine was pitted from setting up 35 yrs.

I looked at RockAuto and Napa, I will check out the Carquest site. Thanks Al.

I don't remember who I got mine through but it was a raybestos master, 73 dart, manual disc car application for about the same price. If searching online, could also try partsamerica.com
70 Cuda, 7.0L Gen-III Hemi, Viper T56 w/9310 gearset, 3.91's, Megasquirt MS3x v3.57, Innovate wideband, Firm Feel upper arms, torsion bars, springs and strut rods, QA1 DA shocks. I did everything on this car except the fancy paint stuff and I drive it...and I can't seem to stop messing with it....

I prefer using a power disc master cylinder with manual discs.  It has a larger bore and gives a firmer pedal.


The goal never changes - Stop the 60' timer with your back tires

Never heard of that. Sounds good. I know some prefer the power brake feel but I have always liked the feel that manual brakes give. I like a firm pedal too and the power disc brake master cylinder has to be more plentiful than the manual disc version.
