Bigger master brake cylinder

[bozothenutter]

Hi, in noos's build thread he mentions using a master break cylinder from a 806 van...but is has 4 outputs....can you just close two outputs off and use it as a normal one?

You could, or just buy a clio 197/200 master cylinder like i did. You will need to change 1 of brake pipe fittings to M10 and use your existing resivoir seals but other than that its direct fit.

whats the piston diameter of them? i thought Clio Sport mkII has 22mm right?

23.8mm.....hmmm going off to look for a 197/200 master cylinder now...

I didnt have much lucky finding a second hand one, just got one new from Renault for 80 odd quid.

There's a laguna one too with 23,6mm and 4xm10 for ABS-less use

 

[bozothenutter]

ah ok...but I have a 182 with R26 fron brakes

Which model laguna for the non abs?

I run WilWood 4 pots and dont feel the need for a larger Master Cylinder. Would be interesting to try a car with one though.

Do you run with abs? I'm looking at getting rid of the abs so I will need a master cylinder anyway

I think the Wilwood Clio kits are designed with the right size pistons to run a standard cylinder, The 4 pots i have on my car have very large pistons as they are designed to run with a Bias pedal box. But i didnt want the complication of a bias box so i opted to run a servo with a bigger cylinder. Pedal is still to light but it will do for now.

anybody have a partnumber for the 197/200 master cylinder?
My local dealer gives me blank stares otherwise....

 

[mikekean]

Not sure on the part number, We just used the VIN number off a clio 200 in the showroom to find mine. I may still have the box though so will look when i get home.

thanks mate, not a lot of 200 on showroom floors here....
