Wilwood Tandem Master Cylinder Option w/ Pedal Question!!!

[craigibc]

I am looking for an optional upgrade for my 62 Falcon I am in the process of building right now. I would like to have something a little better than single pot that came stock on this car and saw this as an available option. Anyone have any experience with this setup and how it works?






Super Pedal Dual Brake Master Cylinder Conversion Kit
This is the best solution available for strong braking power without using any kind of brake assist such as a vacuum power booster or the very ugly hydro boost system. By using 2 small manual race quality master cylinders this Wilwood pedal creates line pressures equal to or greater than assisted systems. You also gain tremendous brake “feel” and the safety of never losing your brakes because of engine failure. Each master is sized and dedicated to either the front or rear circuit. The front MC is a .875" bore unit while the rear circuit uses a 1.00" bore MC. This system is compatible with single or multiple piston calipers of all designs. They are adjustable for front/rear bias by adjusting with the patented Wilwood balance bar system. This is a very simple under dash, pedal mounted, adjuster. The attractive aluminum high volume master cylinders protrude only 5" into your engine bay and are quite narrow. They come with bail release black aluminum tops. The entire 2.2 (sans MC's) lb pedal assembly is fully anodized in Wilwood’s new Platinum-E color.

This is a fantastic solution for those looking to:

• Minimize engine bay intrusions
• Upgrade their braking to a race quality system that does not require power assist
• Replace their OE pedal with a lighter (only 2.2 lbs) adjustable aluminum unit
• Easily add a hydraulic clutch MC
• Improve the overall appearance of this often ugly equipment
• Non slip pedal pads are included

post up some pics of your falcon!

That setup would work, it will be a custom install. I use a chrysler aluminum dual MC. It has the same bolt pattern as ford, I just cut my original push rod down and rounded the end. I have pretty good performance out of it. I use a 15/16" bore and an adjustable proportioning valve.

You can stop by my house and feel how hard the pedal is.

Hopefully by late spring I will have some pics to post just a ton of work and not alot to look at. Thanks for the info and the advice on this MC do you ever bring your car to Cruisin' Grand in Escondido?

I have used these many times. The balance is way more adjustable than an adjustable prop valve. Spend the extra bucks and get the cable kit and knob set up. For almost any street car set up, use a 3/4" bore master for the front, and a 7/8" for the rear. - 4 wheel disc - if the car is really balanced, 50/50, and has larger brakes all around, you might try a 13/16" for the rear.
