Re: Bigger Brakes

Re: Bigger Brakes

Re: Bigger Brakes

thanks E T V i looked at discos today but it looked like you would need the servo as well as the master cylinder mounting bolts are about 2 & 8 o clock position and the rover ones are different, plus as you say you need to sort the brake pipes so i decided to go with MGzs 180 master cylinder as ...

Re: Bigger Brakes

i cant find any info on putting the landrover master cylinder on the 45 but there is some info on fitting the mg zs master cylinder to the std 45 as you said, but would this land rover one be even better?

Re: Bigger Brakes

If you are able to find out about the better master cylinder that would be great, I really dont like it as it is.
