Master cylinder upgrade!
« on: January 11, 2008, 12:17:51 PM »
Hey  yall i gots a question for ya. I have a 87 jx with toyota axles under it. The brakes work ok but im thinking that i need to get a bigger master cylinder for the axles.
i have a *8 inch front and a LC rear with 4 wheel cylinders. i dont kn ow if my master cylinder is able to push enough fluid for my brakes and im hoping some one here has had the same problem and mite have a solution for me, or some good advise.
Also has anyone had a porportioning valve go out and if so how did the brakes act?

thanks a bunch.

   When my proportioning valve let go I lost my back brakes.I thought I had lost a wheel cylinder or something but it was the valve.

Alot of good info in this buildup. But a good write up on swapping master cylinders.
86 sami 87 motor and a few other years in there probably, dana 44 rear,36"tsl. I once had splitfire spark plugs.
