Master Cylinder Info

Post by NylonAdmiral » Mon May 13, 2013 9:21 pm

After Sunday's excursion I've found my brakes need looking at.

The pedal's going to the floor and needs pumping in order to stop. The brakes were only just bled when I replaced the rear brake shoes and I can't find any fluid leaks so I'm going to go with replacing the master cylinder.

It occurred to me that I still have the Vitara donor from my engine swap, does anyone have any idea if the Vitara master cylinder will fit or can be made to fit? :weld:

Thanks!

Sweet! Cheers, that would be really helpful. It would be great if I can use existing parts.

I can't find many pics but it's basically a case of enlarging the hole in the bulkhead and some new bolt holes.
