Hello Everyone-
I have quietly enjoyed both the Team Thicko list and the Spridget list for a
while now, but now I have a question:
I am rebuilding a '60 Bugeye for vintage racing, and am currently working on
the brake hydraulics. I need to replace the original single line master
cylinder with a dual circuit system.
When I bought the car, I got a competition pedal box in a box of spare
parts. It consists of a traditional Lockheed clutch master cylinder on the
left side, and two Girling (625?) brake master cylinders attached to a bias
adjustment bar. This is nearly identical to the diagram I have seen in the
Carroll Smith book "Prepare to Win."
All of the master cylinders are shot from years of sitting around, but I am
curious to find out if anyone else has a similar set-up. The other obvious
alternative, is to use a MC from a later model car, and not worry about the
brake bias adjustment. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I am not too familiar with Girling MC's, but are they available, and
where? Thanks for all of your help.
Dave Mumford
PS. WST, congrats on the British Car write-up. It is always good to see
familiar names in the magazine.
