Brake cylinders
Hi everyone, now christmas is over were hoping to crack on with the build but i was just wondering which cylinder other MNR owners have used for the
front and back braking as there are two - 0.625 and 0.75?
cheers

Thanks very much thats the first issue resolved and many more to come i would imagine  although ive got to ask why? does the 0.75 give better
braking force needed at the rear as its RWD?

The 0.75 gives less braking force. Because the piston is bigger if you apply the same force to both mastercylinders the bigger piston will produce
less pressure. The reverse is true for the caliper or wheel cylinder pistons, the larger the piston the greater the force that will be generated for a
given pressure. See HERE to see it expalined better.
