Raider Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Only answering in the negative I am afraid.I have fitted uprates four pot calipers and still used the original master cylinder even in competition and not found it a problem, sure the pedal goes quite a way down but the brakes still work much beter ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.johnson23 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Never mind-all sorted now.Have sorted 4 pots and disc problem but had found the pedal travel too much for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon_herit Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I put a SD1 servo on my v8 about 17 years ago. Not sure if it made any difference but they were readily available in scrappies at the time and seemed a good upgrade. Remember having to cut and shorten (weld) the end that attaches to the pedal - being careful not to over heat and melt the rubber. Think I used the original master cylinder.

Tinkerer Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi new to these forums and have been working on a 7 for my son. I see your post is a few months old but we just fitted the late SD1 girling servo and master without a problem. Shortened the rod by 25mm and dropped it straight in. It clears the throttle cable and clutch servo by about 2mm and the step in the bulkhead by about 1mm.I also cut the black plastic sleeve back a little and used some large washers and nylocs and a new bulkhead gasket when refitting. The mounting studs have the same PCD as the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Where is this black plastic sleeve fitted?Can’t remember having seen this, but that doesn’t mean much ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 HiOn the back of the servo surrounding the rod, its seems to be a bakelite type plastic. some others have rubber dust covers but the SD1 servo we have had the hard plastic with a metal cap. When fitted it protrudes into the car through the centre bulkhead hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
