as all 4 pots use the same sized pistons it does not matter where you get them from but i would look at customer service and also the positions of the bleed nipples and the size of them as some are in the wrong place and are smaller than others.

 

rear cylinders you the same as you should for the front discs. then you will be having a set up suitable for the MC

 

again read the link i posted above as it covers the reason for grooves or drillings or both.

 

and re using an adjustable pedal box the sizing depends on what other bits you get but the rear of the car require so little braking power i feel the cost of the adjustable box is not really justified.

Thanks Nick, that's useful.

 

I'm not particularly after an adjustable box, I've just not seen anything with remote master cylinders that isn't a twin cylinder with bias-bar setup.  With the rear brakes being completely different and not doing much work compared with a modern car, I wondered whether a bias bar would be so far biased to the front that  it would be better to use an inline valve or just a different sized master cylinder to keep the the bias bar more central.

Anyone?

 

If I decided to remove the servo and mitigate that by going for the best calipers that aren't ridiculously priced and will fit 10" wheels, ie the Minisport ones, with decent pads (and is it worth getting cross-drilled discs?) and then I decided to remove the master cylinders by fitting a Tilton pedal box, how would I work out which size master cylinders to fit?

read any of the links? they cover everything.

 

and I would not buy from Minisport.

I didn't see anything that explained how to work out the right size master cylinders?

 

Where would you buy from?
