I'm putting new dics, rebuilt calipers & new brake hoses (all stock, no big brakes)on my 914. So I thought I'd check and see what size master cylinder I have. Clean off the bottom of the master cylinder and see a 20 cast on the body of the MC.
The brakes were always bad, meaning hard to stop. You really had stand on the brakes hard to stop. Would a 17mm MC make my brakes feel like power brakes compaired to the 20mm MC on it now? Would it make that much of a difference? Ralph 74 2.0 |
