I guess you would have no problem adapting anything to work, so.....
Use whatever you can get parts for down there

| Post subject: | rebuilding master cylinder and booster |
Hey there. I started to rebuild my brakes all around. I'm stuck with this doubt: I have 2 master cylinders and booster, one is a cast iron pump with large reservoir for front disc brakes (rearmost compartment) and small for the rear drums, that has a metal lid and a wire holder, and 4 bolts pattern. The other one is a skinnier pump, with plastic reservoirs, each one is independent from the other and they're the same size. The pump has 2 bolts pattern. Wich one should I use? |

I know I'll get some opposition on this (what else is new?) but I prefer the 4-bolt units on cars that originally came with them. |

mine came with 2 bolt. wich is newer/better? the 4 bolt pattern one even has the brake lines on the other side of the pump. No big deal, I just wanna go newer and/or nicer in future brand new brake pump options. |

Well then, if yours came with 2-bolt... ...use the 2-bolt! The 2-bolt setup is newer. |

OK I'm going with my 2 bolt pump and booster. I thought it was the other way around and the 4 bolts was newer. Other Q's: do any of you have replaced the old big booster and pump with something new? I'll tell you my choices of newer car reposition parts down here VW (golf, polo, jetta, etc) Ford (yay!) Chevrolet (opel rebranded brazilian chevrolets) Renault (21-19-laguna-megane) Fiat ain't an option to me. Maybe the day they start to build cars.... I was thinking on going to a smaller but equally effective (if there' such a thing) booster and newer pump. Thoughts? kicks in the ass? |

I prefer my master cylinder bolted to the firewall, without a booster. |

I got manual 10" drums all around with the MC connected to the fire wall. Stops fine for me! See sig for whats its attached to..its around 3500 lbs!  Sounds like you maybe have a MC from an '80's Chrysler? There is a guy on Moparts (I think Zippy?) that sells adapter plates to use a late MC in a manual brake car with the 4 bolt holes.

True, disks aren't self energizing like drum brakes..... You either need a smaller bore master or larger bore caliper pistons (a larger diameter disk also helps your leverage (just like larger diameter tires hurts your leverage)) |
