yesssssssssssss
after many trials and tribulations with the changing of my brake master cylinder i can now say they have bite and are at least 100% better than
before.
so if you got crappy brakes,get a smaller dia cylinder.
usual thanks to lathe girl,brakes international,tetley teabags,my sponsors etc

Which cylinder did you use?? I have a std sierra and although it does stop the car I feel I'd be happier putting less effort into the pedal.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

BMC 4020 from brakes international,£19 +vat and carriage...bargain.
i had a problem getting the feeds to the cylinder and had to have them made and a mounting plate as the bolts were in different places,well worth the
aggro tho
off a fiat 124 btw

Hi,
I've got a similar problem where my brakes just don't have enough leverage. My pedal ratio is just 4.5:1 when it should be between 5 an
7:1. I was going to just alter the pedal but I guess altering the cylinder would achieve the same aim wouldn't it?
Does this new cylinder fit into the same mountings as the Sierra cylinder? What sort of pushrod does it have?
Cheers,
Craig.

What is the bore?
I have sierra master - there are at least 2 different types - and think it is 22 mm.
Any chance of photos of the sierra and this new one - I am interested in the mounting and the pipe connections.
