Hi All, I am working on setting up my tr4 to race next year on the west coast, and I was wondering if anyone else has done a dual circuit conversion on a tr4? I see that revington tr has a bolt on on

Of course Glen is right on the money. The only twist on the plot I have seen is taking a TR6 dual circuit master cylinder and a TR6 pedal box and fit it to the TR4. That's how my car was done, sans

I have one of the UK versions with a balance bar, I think it came from Racetorations, maybe TR Enterprises. It came with a remote resorvoir for the brakes like a TR3 so I switched out the M/C's for 3

I did the same thing Joe did, but with my GT6. You either need to be adept with a welder or know someone who is to modify the brake pedal and weld in the bias bar tube, and to build a new "box" to su

Personally, I like to use all the same size m/c for clutch, front and rear brakes so you only have to carry one spare rebuild kit and it's always the right one. .070 is a good midpoint size and you'l

You're splitting the force (pedal effort) between 2 cylinders. Obviously smaller cylinders will make for an easier pedal, with the increase in travel. Some of the modern friction materials are so eff

The pedal effort required to operate the brakes is determined by the area of the master cylinder or cylinders in relation to the area of the wheel cylinders or caliper pistons. So using two master cy

Unfortunately, unless you go to a different brand master cylinder, there are no options for Spitfires. The clutch and single circuit brake master cylinders have the same bore. But it does work pretty

Is it correct to assume that a single cylinder, dual piston master as commonly found in modern braking systems would similarly require increased pedal pressure? In any case, I'm not sure I understand
