| Post subject: | which MC with F-body manual disc brakes |
I'm preparing a disc brake swap on my 68 valiant. I found a disc brake set from a 77 volare. Spindels, calipers, discs, prop valve. The discs are 11" and the drums I will be using are 10x2,5 The volare used to have power brakes, but I want non-power/manual brakes on my valiant. Can I re-use the prop valve from the volare? What size MC should I use for this set-up 15/16" or 1" or 1-15/16"? Thanks, Antoon |

Use a Raybestos #MC36412, 1-1/32" master cylinder. You can use the F-body combination valve. Take the opportunity to install 13/16" bore wheel cylinders in your new 10" rear brakes while you're at it — does a terrific job cleaning up the disc brake A-body rear lockup problem. NAPA-United 37696, Raybestos WC37696, Wagner F113704, or ACDelco 18E268 is the wheel cylinder you want — times two (left = right). |

Thanks Dan, That's some helpfull and quick awnser. The original volare MC was about 26,6 mm which equals to about 1" 3/64. Does the MC you recommend give me a decent pedal feel? Thanks, Antoon |

Original Volaré master cylinder bore is not metric. It is 1-1/32" (in fact, it is the same MC36412, with nonpower brakes, used with nonpower disc brakes in the '73-'76 A-bodies). Pedal feel is excellent. |
