Appropriate master cylinder size?
I have already fitted my master cylinders, and I'm about to fit my master cylinder reservoirs....one for the front brakes, one for the rear brakes, and then one for the clutch.
I have available two reservoir sizes: 4 fluid oz. / 120ml 10.7 fluid oz. / 320ml Are the smaller reservoirs adequate in size....particularly as each brake circuit operates only two calipers? Cheers, Glen |
Yes. You are not really pulling a lot of fluid from the master when you hit the brakes because the lines and calipers are all full already. The only issue you would run into is if your pads wore out and you never checked the fluid. If you look at a factory GM master, the rear portion is very small. Even if you had 4 wheel disks, it probably only held 6 ounces or so.

I would prefer the 320ml reservoir if the space is available where you would need to mount them. My reason is when you need to flush the system the larger reservoir would require far less topping off to complete the task and less risk of introducing air into the system due to the larger capacity.

Thanks for the opinions. Yes the larger reservoirs would make bleeding the brakes a little easier, however I think the smaller reservoirs might look more acceptable.
