I am pretty sure that the Spit and GT6 models shared common wheel cylinders. (same year cars used the same unit). Therefore, it is likely that the original ones were used. So if you just order the c

Someone (who is supposed to know these things) once told me that if you use a smaller wheel (or slave) cylinder, you will actually get a higher pressure than if you use a larger one. It makes sense t

I don't know exactly what you just said but I think I soundly disagree. If you assume the master cylinder is exerting a constant pressure, the size of the slave will determine the line pressure and

Once again, In a stationary system, with a constant source of pressure, this is the case. But the system does not have a constant pressure and the slave cylinder moves, so it is not a stationary syst

Lets see if what you said is what I think. I'll try this out: The amount of fluid being displaced by a larger master cylinder will move a smaller slave a greater amount. Right? Now add this: Energy i
