Manual brakes

[dangerous_sep]

So ive converted to manual brakes using the $80 kit from latemodelresto
and have the original master cylinder.
Needless to say it has a super stiff pedal and have to stand on it to stop.
i google'd but couldnt get a straight answer on what m/c i should use.
looks like i need a 7/8 bore

anyone running this setup on their car ? what m/c are you using

On the 68 I put a 7/8 m/c from a 1 inch to get a "softer" pedal after I put front disc on the car. I put an adjustable valve to get the front to rear bias back.

It helped, but they are still manual brakes. What year car?

I like a short travel, hard pedal. Now it's a little longer pedal but softer.

It the wife's hot rod and that what she wanted.

should have used the $200 kit

you need the correct pedal

[Sleeper]

You need to move the rod on the peddle as well.

forgot to add the details its a 88 fox coupe track only use
stock brakes front disk rear drum.

If you do rear disk, it should help out a lot.

That's what I've read however.

yea prob not going disk anytime soon
i guess ill try to look up m/c with 7/8 bore that will fit this model year
anyone have any they've had success with

the factory manual brake cars have a different brake pedal

your pedal assembly already has the holes drilled for it
