Postby Corolla52 » Wed Dec 14, 2011 10:47 pm

I am changing my brake and clutch pedal and Triple Master Cylinder set up and I
was wondering what size Brake Master Cylinders and Clutch Master Cylinder I would need.

Pedal ratio: 5:1
Front Rotor size : 265mm x 22.5mm
Front Calipers : Volvo 4 spot
Rear Rotor size : 243mm x 9.5mm
Rear Caliper: Mazda MX5
Car Racing Weight: 850 Kg

Also size on Clutch Master Cylinder size
Heavy Duty Madza Rotary Clutch.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Sounds pretty similar to the setups in escorts. 5/8, 16mm front and 3/4, 19mm rears would be a good starting point.

They are the sizes I was looking at using.

Ricey it had just a single tandem master cylinder and no balance bar.
Also the pedal assembly needed a bit of work, so it was easier
to go to the new setup.
