[DeTomaso] master cylinder advice

[peter-kovacs at sbcglobal.net]

I had that issue and it stumped local shops as well as a PCar vendor. A second vendor Tommy Hodges of Extreme Pantera easily identified the problem and solved it quickly. I'd confirm your findings with him before spending any $$. I wish I would have.

Subject: [DeTomaso] master cylinder advice


Sso i put together my own brake system using wilwood superlite 4 piston calipers up front.  I ended up using a ford master cylinder with a 7/8" bore, which i suspected was small.  As i begin to drive the car, i am finding a very soft, spongy pedal with a lot of travel.  I plan to go to a bigger bore master cylinder.  I could easily use the ford SVO 84-86 1.125" master cylinder, but I worry that might be too much the other way.  Although other fords have had 1" master cylinders, they generally have an angled reservoir which just looks funny, but wilwood makes a 1" master cylinder that is more money.
 
anyway, any suggestions 1 or 1.125"  justin
