What Pedal Box?

[MaSnaka]

I'm using the 7/8" wildwood MC in the existing CR pedal box. Been a few years now and over 5K miles. Very happy.
I had clutch problems of one sort or another including failed MC's (Howe Racing) more than a couple times, internal throw out bearing (McCloud) more than a couple times, pressure plate one of the fingers broke once. Seemed like every 6 months to a year I was fixing something. I switched to a external slave with a traditional fork and throw out bearing and replaced the MC with the wildwood. The geometry was a little tricky getting enough movement on the slave and leverage on the fork but it works great now that it's dialed in. Pressure plate and disc are RAM. Knock knock on wood.

With hydraulics it's a volumetric math problem.


Good luck,
John

“With hydraulics it's a volumetric math problem“. For sure!

FYI in my opinion the 1 1/8" is way to much for a hydraulic throw out, a GM one anyway! The pedal is to heavy and quick! It's damn near an on/off switch! I'm really thinking about going with the setup I linked above and rebuild the 7/8” master cylinder I was using before! I may also go with a little smaller diameter on the brake master cylinder as well. The brakes are also pretty dang heavy!

Right, so if you want easier to push brakes you need to go smaller on the master or bigger on the calipers....I believe changing the master should be easier, especially if you have two masters and a balance bar. If you change the front brake calipers you should change the rear as well, assuming the balance is good now.
