Manual master cylinder
Hi Guys,
I am wondering what manual master cylinder you guys are using.
Strange and Wilwood offer a few choices and they don't seem to be
terribly expensive. What size bore would be recommended?
I have drag brakes for the rear and will eventually have them for the front too.
Also, what is the pedal feel like with the manual master.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

After the manual master install they were much better, also saved weight. I highly recommend the manual master cylinder. Money well spent.

Thanks
I'm willing to bet the Smith brothers deal (since your in Canada)is probably the same thing that Jay sells.

I have manual brakes. Using a factory manual master from a different car. With an adjustable proportioning valve. It stops just as quick as a power system. It just takes a little more pedal effort.
