Hi guys,
I have a '78 Mini 1000 (built in '77) with the standard brake setup. Drums all round, black tag master cylinder, diagonal split, no servo and no pressure reducing valve.
As part of my resto i'm redoing the braking system to make it more effective/ safer while retaining the standard look of the car.
I will be installing 7.5" Calipers at the front with standard spaced drums at the rear.
I have bought a yellow tag master cylinder to replace the existing black tag as i always had troubles with trapped air.
I'm not intending on running a servo but may add one depending on how the pedal feels once the car is complete.
So my question is what brake line set up to go for? Front to Rear split? What size rear cylinders? Will the originals be okay to use? And will I need a pressure reducing valve?
I realise i'm asking a lot of questions but I want to get this set up right for obvious reasons.
Many thanks
Elliott
