Hi Ruairidh and David
Sorry Ruairidh can’t really help and whilst there is a danger of thread hijack I’d like to comment on David’s question.
One problem you will face with the hydraulic master cylinder is that where you attach the main push rod on the brake pedal will affect the leverage and amount the push rod can move in the cylinder. I found on a previous special that I couldn’t get enough throw to push sufficient fluid around the system. I started using an aftermarket Girling cylinder, 3/4” from memory, but went up to a 7/8” cylinder in order to get sufficient fluid movement.
Hope you get some answers Ruairidh.
Cheers
Howard
