Re the material for the master cylinders, original ones that I have seen over the years since the late 70s have been aluminium except for the 7/8 inch bore Brake Masters used on servo assisted cars,

Paul, Since you raise the question of changing over to silicone brake fluid I might as well ask this question. Since I am rebuilding the entire brake system and clutch system I could switch to silico

FWIW, I have used silicone fluid in my BJ8 and E-Type for years w/o incident - and - I did not change any of the rubber in ny system when I switched over. I know that isn't the "technical" answer, ju

Hi All, I'm rebuilding the brake and clutch master cylinders for my BJ8. I have noticed that both masters are the same size for my car,in external length and diameter, while another Healey in the gar

For the BJ8 you should have a different master for the brake. Because the BJ8 has a brake booster, you need less pressure on the pedal, using the standard BT7 or BN7 brake master (same as the clutch

The brake master cylinder shall have a larger internal bore than 0,625. If I remember correctly 0,875. That cylinder is easy to distinguish between the 0,625 because it is longer. The large bore was

I've recently learned there are several versions of the Brake Master available in the market. The one I have is actually shorter than the clutch master. Cheers, Alan

The correct one for servo brakes is indeed longer than the one for the clutch and non-servo brakes. However there are several internal bore sizes available for the small Girling aluminium master. Of

If you can believe it the Cast Iron Brake Master on my BJ8 is definitely shorter than the standard ali clutch master right next to it. I think there are alot of different manufacturers out there, an

Of course I believe you. I4m refering to Girling cylinders which was OEM and all of the cast iron cylinders that I got from them in that particular internal bore have always been both thicker and lo

The end result for me then, is that I have two identical master cylinders with 5/8" ( .625) bores and I need to purchase a master with 7/8" ( .875) bore for the brakes, regardless of size or shape.

On my car the PO had fitted the .75 in. master cylinder which seems to work fine with my non-power drum brakes. The pedal effort is not up to modern standards but not excessive. If I were to switch t

OK, I'll take a shot at this ... A 5/8" cylinder has a surface area of roughly .31 inch sq. A 3/4" cylinder has a surface area of roughly .44 inch sq. Let's say for illustration the force applied by

"So, for the same pedal pressure, with the 5/8" m/c you get about 43% more force at the slave cylinders or, conversely, to get the same stopping power you'll have to press the pedal 43% harder." Sho
