Hi All
As You All Know I Just Finished Building My Ford Capri V6 . Now Every Thing Was Built To New Or Replaced . I Was Wanted To Bring This Up To See If Anyone Has Had The Same Dealing. Or Not Break Pedal Not The Best Stops But I Think Could Be Alot Better, But Saturday Just Went By . I Was At Pedders Just Cheaking Few Things Out . And Since The Owner Is A Friend Of Mine . He Was Telling Me If My Cam In The Car Is To Big And Lumpy . It Will Cause My Boster. To Have Not Eoungh Presure For My Pedal . He Was Telling Me To Get It Tested And If I Dont Have The Presure There . I Need Anther Tank To Supplie More Presure To The Boster. Is This True Or Is There Anther Story To Fix This Pedal Problem Up. Iam Very Open To All Sugestion |

its true, sort of. I work on the theory of 7" boosters for disc/drum. 8" for disc/disc. I am still doing my capri around my mrs coupe, used a vh40 in mine. wont be a radical engine , just a warm 302 winger. you can possibly look at a dual diaphram booster or run a dedicated vacuum pump to supply the booster. Seperate tanks for brake boosters are a bit of a bandaid solution in my eyes. If you are on and off the brakes enough, it will simply run out of vac eventually. Ideally u would like to see around 20" of vacuum to operate ya brakes well. a lot of diesels run vac pumps, but usually they are belt driven, so unless ya have room and can make brackets forget pinchin one of them. a electric will set ya back about 400 sheckels and u can mount it anywhere ya want and run a line to ya booster for supply. good to see ya got ya motor back n kickin too.

i have heard you can get an Land-Rover Defender Master Cylinder.NRC869
this is a 1" (25mm) bore rather than the capri 5/8 bore (22.5mm) so i am told The servo or Booster you need to fit the larger master cylinder is from a 2 litre Capri Laser - GL etc but nothing else. It's the same size as a 2.8 / 3 litre but the studs are M10 and you can not see into the unit around the spindle. Do not get stuck with a 1.6 unit, it is not large enough to do the job. These are recognised by the vacuum fitting being at 12 'O' clock rather than 2 'O' clock. Pedal and bulk head fittings are the same. also check out http://www.zyworld.com/caprisport/1_brakes.htm the bad thing is they are in the UK, the good thing they know heaps.. good luck and keep us posted...
