| Post subject: | empty rear resevoir |
Its been a while since I've been on here. It seems as if my car had to remind me to check in. Tonight I hopped in the car and found the pedal a lot soft. I popped the hood and found the rear resevoir empty. I filled it and snapped the lid back on and took the baby sister home. The trip is about 7miles round trip and by the time I got back home the pedel felt normal again. This car has the MP disk brake conversion and is manual assist. I looked all around the car for leaks and found none. Checked hoses, steel line and even the backing plates for moister. I havn't pulled the drums to look at the wheel cylinders them selves, as I believe the rear resevoir feeds the front calipars. Any ideas as to where the fuild has gone to? http://tinyurl.com/yoasgs http://tinyurl.com/ytpvuy |

As the brakes wear it's normal for the reservoir level to drop; the rear chamber feeds the front brakes. Also, fluid can be pumped from the rear reservior into the front if the piston cups are worn. |

My guess is that aliens probed your rear reservoir |

Found fluid on inside of firewall. Where are we getting the good master cylinders now? |

It is aluminum with plastic res. and you need a four to two bolt adaptor. I got mine off ebay. I just put it on and bled an entirely new system with no problems and good pedal feel. It was also WAY lighter than the iron doorstop I took off. It also came with the rubber retainer for the pushrod. I think a few different people are selling them. Good luck and be safe radar |

Bendix catalog shows 11323 as a NEW master for 10 inch drum brake car. It is 1 inch bore. Shows R11487 as a REMAN for a disc brake car (1 1/8 bore). Does not show a NEW disc brake MC. |

The 11323 is wrong. It has a semetrical resivore patern. I need a large rear resevore. I found out that the master I have is suppost to be a 1-1/8 bore. The pedal feels "OK" but is a little stiff. Anyone see a problem going to a 1" or even a 15/16" bore? The reman part # doesn't seem to cross at Napa |

R11487 is for the disc brake, and is a 1 1/8 bore. Bendix does not list a NEW MC for that application. A number for new, would be 11487, delete the "R".The reman part # doesn't seem to cross at Napa This info is right from the Bendix CD catalog, which does an online automatic update, whenever it is accesed. A smaller bore master cyl will require less pedel effort, but have more pedal travel. |

Is there really any danger of using to small of a bore and having the pedel reach the floor before the brakes are applied? (providing system has been beld properly) |
