brakes broke, fixing. hope it runs again by 8am Monday
I assume disco's didnt come with hydro and you are kludging it together? That looks like a 90's chevy booster.
correct, and its the wrong master cylinder as I just found out
and I need one more 16mm o ring to -6 JIC adapter. Other than that its going smoothly. Fortunately I've got a junkyard line I can have crimped at the hydraulic shop tomorrow to get me going while I wait until monday to order the correct adapter from PSC (or not mess with it at all if it works)
may have to rotate it, stupid abs pump is in the way of the line fittings
the disco is slowly becoming a chevy :flipoff2:
yeah a little, but the transmission made it past 150k ;)
why?
had a bad brake booster and my newer used master cylinder started leaking in the same spot again.
Do I really need to justify any modification with this crowd?
They are gonna give you **** either way. :cool:

He is just showing the british how a 4x4xfar should be built
rover brakes are a little inadequate, especially with the larger tires. I could never lock them up if there wasn't ice on the road. So far I've probably got the same amount of money in it if I was to replace them or do this.Quote:

probably just has air in the booster, did you bleed it?
Even if all it needs is to be bled, I would still do the PS mods cause it makes the brakes work ALOT better. Pigpen's brakes kick major ass, I can lock em up at what I believe to be 40-50 mph (no speedo). But yes the booster takes awhile to bleed, I have done the one in pigpen when I built it and the one in my crewcab when I replaced it and it took awhile both times.
It just occured to me that the rover pump might be different than a regular saginaw type so what are your plans for boosting the pump up.
