but why would you want one on a track car? Apart from dorifto

they are actually very handy in a track car, if the car doesn't turnin properly when your off line a quick tug on the handbrake will take the grip awaay from the back end letting the car turnin quickly. you wouldn't use it often but it can get you out of the shit if needed.

they can also be useful if your car won't trail brake properly, as you can apply more brake to the rear when needed, Kinda like an infinitely adjustable bias valve but without the dial (and it returns to normal bias when released)

Softer pads and/or less pad area.

ok, so i finally had a lil spare time this morn to get the 5/8 master in there, and yes it now locks the rears with ease, and alot less effort then what was required with the 3/4 master,

cheers lads for your help

does someone have a part no. for suitable master cyls? I'll be doing a DIY version of this in the MZ10 but connected to the existing handbrake arm via a suitably fabricated rod.

you'll want to find a clutch master, from what car tho, i have no clue, local brake/clutch mob should be able to have a look in a book for some specs tho.

Or just buy a 5/8" inline maso available from basicly any brake shop.
