Brake Master Cylinder Sizing?

[Julian]

I'm swapping out my hung pedals for a floor mount Tilton pedal unit which will have dual brake masters. How does one size the optimal bore of master cylinders to brakes? Is there a rule of thumb based on car weight, disc/caliper sizing etc.?

Thanks for any insight.

Write to Tilton, tell them your disc siz, caliper bores etc and they send you back a recommendation

Hi Julian

I recently posted a question ... 'How did you set brake bias'; there were lots of good posts in reply that explain the issues involved also an Excel sheet that takes you through the choice process to select the master cylinder size to be compatible with the other brake system components and the car spec etc.

There are posts today on the thread.
