right got one of these for my series 1 (upgrade) and new cos4wd front callipers and 2wd rears.

This is where it goes wrong, the series 1 master cylinder has 4 out lets and the series 2 only 2 am i right in thinking that on a series 1 the 4 go to each wheel and on a series 2 the 2 outlets go to front and back with t piece`s.

I f this is the case can i ditch the old crap series 1 set up and use the series 2 set up with just the 2 out lets and 2 t`pieces

safechav any ideas mate and any one else

Yes thats the way,one outlet to do the fronts and the other outlet to do the backs.You can put a bias valve into the rear line beside the handbrake to settle the rear bias and stop the backs from locking up.Regards Micky

 

spot on Micky

have you any more info maybe pics

Andy

 

You would be better to split the system diagonally as they are on a series 2, but other than that yes you have the right idea

 

explain diagonally

 

One outlet runs front left and rear right, the other outlet runs front right and rear left.

The theory being if a brake fails you still maintain the braking of one front and one rear brake

 

what about a bias valve mate, i aint got a clue about brake systems tbh, all i know my series 1 set up is shit

 

If you are going to runa bias valve then i dont think you can run diagonally split, not 100% on that though

 

Do as Ive told you,digonally is only for old ladies goin to the shops,and you CANNOT use a bias valve if split diagonally.Ive no pic's,but they will only show a pipe comin out of the master cylinder etc.Any quetions,just ask.Regards Micky

 

You just need 2 bias valves if you run diagonal split

Andy, would you like to try some 285mm discs and alloy calipers before going all out changing stuff. Is your car on the road ?

I have a loan set that I would like to try on a few cars for feedback.

They fit under 15"

 

Tony you bastid ,I would have have fitted them to my car and given you feedback from a track use point of view!!! Told you at Croft I was on the lookout to change my brake set-up. Oh well,I'll still have a chat with you at Nat Day if youre around .All the best ,Micky

 

I know what they are like on track, Im looking for standard servo equipped cars now Micky.

I might be down on the Saturday Micky, not sure about Sunday yet

 

Tony,I'll be out on track both days ,so I'll see you whatever day you make it .All the best,Micky

 

Won't be able to get in the paddock on Sunday m8

Thats why Saturday is the better option

 

Thanks Tony you have PM mate
