1. Re: GT real brake cylinders (score: 1): Author: "Telewest $PH$" <paul.hunt1@blueyonder.co.uk>; Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2002 09:01:42 +0100; No Max, you are right (if you see what I mean). For a given pressure in the hydraulic line a larger slave piston will exert a greater pressure on the brakes. Same p/si, greater si, greater p. The sid; /html/mgs/2002-07/msg00003.html (7,821 bytes)
2. GT real brake cylinders (score: 1): Author: "Larry Hoy" <larryhoy@marketvalue.net>; Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 08:48:17 -0600; I would like to verify something. If the rear brake cylinders on a roadster are replaced with the larger bore brake cylinders from the GT there should be a shift of the braking relationship between t; /html/mgs/2002-06/msg00822.html (7,882 bytes)
3. Re: GT real brake cylinders (score: 1): Author: <williem@mindspring.com>; Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 11:14:17 -0400; I think you are correct. If I remember correctly, there is a difference in addition to the bore size. There is a pin on the backside of the cylinder that fits into to a hole on the backplate.

5. Re: GT real brake cylinders (score: 1): Author: Charles & Peggy Robinson <ccrobins@ktc.com>; Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 15:33:14 -0500; Hmmm, the GT is heavier in the rear than the roadster, right? So there's more traction at the rear tires under heavy braking on the GT, up to the point of wheel lock up. Could be you'll just lock up; /html/mgs/2002-06/msg00835.html (8,489 bytes)
6. Re: GT real brake cylinders (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <mvheim@attbi.com>; Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 14:40:49 -0700; I would think the same thing. Of course, if you had seriously upgraded the front brakes with aftermarket parts, then maybe you could use more braking at the rear. -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If yo; /html/mgs/2002-06/msg00836.html (9,012 bytes)

Re: GT real brake cylinders (score: 1): Author: David Councill <dcouncil@imt.net>; Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 16:08:20 -0600; Up until maybe 1967, the B and GT used the same (smaller bore) wheel cylinders according to Moss. But this reminds me that my 72B restoration project is likely using the larger bore wheel cylinders s; /html/mgs/2002-06/msg00837.html (9,666 bytes)

If you change to the larger GT cylinders you should get less rear braking force since it will take more fluid volume to expand the cylinders by the same amount.

Greater piston area gives greater force at same line pressure. Greater force gives greater braking effort on rear wheels which wil; /html/mgs/2002-06/msg00841.html (8,325 bytes)

Pressure of fluid in PSI x diameter of piston is what develops the force that pushes the shoes against the drum.

Re: GT real brake cylinders (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <mvheim@attbi.com>; Date: Sun, 30 Jun 2002 14:21:51 -0700; Hmmm, that is only if you assume a one-to-one relationship between brake pedal pressure and volume of fluid sent to the rear brakes. But I don't think that's true. What I would expect is a one-to-one; /html/mgs/2002-06/msg00896.html (10,074 bytes)
