Brake master cylinders

Another question!

I am building a pedal box same as Haynes design and need to source the brake master cylinders for a balance bar set up. Car will only be used for track days. What is the cheapest way to source them with out compromising on safety? Been quoted £30quid from a breakers for a master with servo (they wont sell it without servo), but seems a little expensive. Any suggestions would be great. Cheers.

You probably wouldn't need a servo on a track car so why not just get new Girling m/c and a bias bar?

Get your pedal design right along with the correct size m/c and caliper pistons and you will have total adjustability and light weight.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

What did you ask the scrappie for exactly? It sounds like they are offering you a standard master cylinder which will not be compatible with a bias bar setup.

You will need two seperate single line cylinders for your pedal box.
