<DIV>If it were me I'd go with option 4. Option 5 will work but is more
work and carries a weight penalty compared to Option 4.</DIV>

List:<BR>I have a bugeye that I converted to disc brakes years ago. I
never <BR>changed out the Master cylinder, and it worked okay, but always had
a <BR>hard brake pedal. I now need to replace or rebuild the Master
Cylinder <BR>due to an issue with the clutch side. I have looked at a
couple of options:<BR> 1. rebuild the current MC (some pitting in the
bore that has not honed <BR>out) (Cost $12.85 + shipping)<BR>2. buy a
new 7/8" bore MC and have it back the way it was (currently on <BR>sale) Cost
$98.95 TRW or $197.95 AP + shipping.<BR>3. Buy a new 3/4" MC from Moss (TRW
brand, currently on sale) and <BR>shorten the push rods (approx. 36%
easier pedal) Cost $229.95 + shipping<BR>4. Send the 7/8" bore MC to Gerard
for a rebuild to 3/4" and shorten or <BR>buy shorter push rods. Cost $325 +
shipping both ways<BR>5. Buy a new 7/8" bore MC and add the brake Servo
booster Moss sells to <BR>give more power without having to modify the
pushrods (this option is <BR>supposed to give about a 2:1 boost to the brakes)
Cost $98.95 for the MC <BR>+ $199.95 for the Servo booster+ shipping and a few
pieces of brake line <BR>to plumb in the servo.<BR><BR>Has anyone on the list
done this last option? If so, how did it turn out?<BR><BR>Any experience
with the TRW MC vs. the AP?<BR><BR>Suggestions on the best option? I'm
trying to balance cost vs. the best <BR>outcome.<BR><BR>Thanks<BR>John
