Listers,

Recognize that 1/2 the pedal pressure also means 2X the pedal travel. If you
still have the original rear shoe brakes - and especially if you use Alpine
slave cylinders - you will need to keep them well adjusted. If you have gone
to rear disks, pedal travel is less of an issue - less travel and no
adjustment. The type of friction material you use is also a big
consideration, not only initially, but if the material tends to fade when
hot, you could wind up wishing you still had a booster. There are some good
materials available that satisfy both criteria.

>From my experience a master cylinder with a .70 bore is the way to go
when not using a booster. Good pedal feel and very effective response.
Girling does make these units, and I get mine from Doug Jennings at
Tiger Auto.  This is one of the many things I learned from Doug
Jennings.
