Very long brake pedal travel

Well you wouldn't by any chance have a 25mm master cylinder in your eBay store for less than a million pounds would you, new ones cost a fortune

Sorry I don't & I wouldn't sell used ones unless I knew 100% they were safe...


Some things aren't worth selling if someone's life depends on it....

Fair shout

[X4MGS]

Sorry to sound like an old fuddy duddy - but get them checked out by an expert...


You dont want to have the stigma of being a killer for the sake of a few quid....

No worries, I'm thinking of buying a new 25.4mm master cylinder and see how that goes

[X4MGS]

what power is your mk2 putting out?

[Craigwilson]

I'm not sure the guys that built my engine reckon about 125bhp but I really don't know all I know is its faster than my dads but not as fast as a mates mate he used to run 140 from an 8v

a std 16v master cylinder will more than suffice on 280mm brake setup, and will be a lot cheaper and easier to find than a 25mm, so just try one of those

I did think that... It's not as if it's got 300 BPH that you are trying to stop...

i think part of the problem is that people compare mk2 pedal feel with todays more modern over-assisted brakes and think that there is a prob with their mk2!

i found that driving something like a new audi after a drive in a mk2, the first time you put your foot on the brakes you near put yourself through the front window
