It would be safer using a water pistol as a cylinder!

They are shocking!

I changed mine to genuine Girling ones from Burton when I had the Lego edition OBP pedal box....

Now run with the Tilton cylinders and Tilton pedal box.

No worries mate, I went for the overhung Tilton box in the end.
Took a bit of fabricating to get it in but it's AMAZING now.

The difference is out of this world and all down to a properly designed pedal box with ratios and balance bar that actually work.

Speak to these guys great advice and always happy to help.

Igot compbrake

top mounts which are good quality for the money
adjustable tca,s
compression struts
the bolts sheared on both comp struts holding them to the tca,s

bias pedal box which all 3 cylinders leaked











i was supplied zinc plated bolts instead of black self colour bolts its the only thing i can think of why they snapped .
fortunately i was pulling my car out of the garage so very slow.
