Hey guys,
I need to replace my master cylinder on my 74 1.8L and was wondering if there are any options out there other than droping the 2-300 bucks on the oe one or going to the 23mm one and loosing all my pressure. I'm in brakes class at universal technical institute (rancho cucamonga, CA) right now and plan on replacing the master and brake hoses, and rebuilding the calipers but I gotta do it without breaking the bank haha. I would be interested in going with the 23mm master if anyone knows of a good cheap replacement caliper with a bigger bore. Or even a refurbished/used master. Anything is better than what its got right now and I'll just be driving surface streets a mile to and from school till I can finish restoring her. Any advice would be much appreciated Thanks, Jarin |
