My car had a .75" master cylinder which I'm using. I bought one of the Lockheed boosters but have not installed it. With the ceramic pads it is not necessary - the pedal effort is no greater than the drums were. Pedal is rock-hard and very direct. The stainless hoses seem to make a slight improvement as my rubber hoses were new. I was inspired by the Triumph article and the ease-of-sourcing on the internet. HealeyRick on this list has informed me that Welch is making a 3.5" adapter plate for older cars. This would cut the cost by quite a bit as well as increasing availability over the unobtainium BJ8 swivel axles. -- Steve Gerow _______________________________________________ Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys |
