So as I prepare to do a late model Cobra 4 wheel disk conversion, I am wondering what are people using for 4 wheel disk conversion Master Cylinder?
Hoping to do better than this:
http://streetortrack.com/Master-Cylinder-for-4-wheel-disc-1964-73-Mustangs-pr-23771.html
Or Mustang Steve's plastic reservoir piece for $120 and metric fittings on the wrong side.
By finding out "the skinny" on an OEM part that I can just order from Advance or something like that.
I did read online that at least one person has used a stock disc/drum master without issue, but a later model unit with a shared reservoir would be important since the caliper pistons use up reservoir capacity as the pads wear (unlike self-adjusting drums). However (and to the contrary) I read about 10 lb residual valves used with at least some drum or disc/drum masters.
Also, I think I read somewhere that a (70's?) corvette disc/disc master would bolt up/fit.
Lastly, would getting an adjustable prop valve be important or can the stock valve from the disc/drum do the job on a disc/disc setup?
Learn an ECI, will 'ya?
Thanks,
Bob
