It bolted right up, and except that it was a little longer and bigger in external diameter, it was an easy install.


Easy install....

I put it in and it was somewhat easy. The brake lines (from the reservoir) need to be re-bent and re-routed to clear the steering rack, the steel front axle tube needs a dent in it to clear the longer master cylinder (it fits aluminum front axle beams just fine), and I believe that the brake lines themselves need some tweaking to line up with the outlet ports on the 23mm MC.

The actuator rod also needs to be somewhat longer. I took a long bolt, ground the head off to a round ball end and used that.

The "kit" from smartracing comes with the longer rod and a 90degree plastic fitting to make connecting to the reservoir easier.

It sounds like a good price if you are willing to make your own actuator rod and fight with the brake fluid feed lines a bit.

Do not do this with stock calipers!!!!!!!

I wish you the best of luck.
