- Hi all. Trying to get the GT6 back on the road after a long winter in retirement. This car has a racecar style braking system with dual master cylinders and a balance bar for tuning. Last fall I near

- Might something in the balance system be bent? I made the mistake of having my wife stomp the pedal while I bled the brakes, one circuit at a time ? she pushed very hard and bent one of the rods sinc

- PJ, Yes on a suggestion. We have set up several of these over the years. Assuming that everything else in the brake system is plumbed and working correctly, what you have going on with the balance ba

- With the info given in the original post there is simply not enough to go on. Maybe the best advice is to take the brake pedal assy out of the car and do maintenance / look for worn parts. That stuff

- On a related note, the Morgan Plus 4 I used to race seemed to have too much braking force in the rear. There was a hydraulic brake balance lever but that had already been adjusted all the way toward

- Thanks for the replies. O.K. assuming a master cylinder is the wrong size. Which way to go? I already have two 5/8 diameter cylinders. As far as I know you can't go smaller so I'll need to have one l

- If "it worked fine for several years" then why all of a sudden does it need different size master cylinders to make it work now? It may need new master cylinders because one or both are bad or it may

- I went one size larger on my gt6 for the front brakes' master for exactly the reasons you described. You need to move a lot more fluid to displace a 1.5" caliper piston than you do to move a small re

- Hi. I have not rebuilt the calipers I have just turned the rotors and put in new pads. As I mentioned earlier I found that the balance bar is the source of the problem. Specifically that it is flippi
