Garage / Re: Brake Master Question
« Last post by Bryan Boyle on Today at 06:45:53 PM »Bryan, would you be willing to lend me your S2 MC so I could do some reverse engineering on it? I have the TC MC drawn up in CAD and it would be great to do the same for the S2 MC to see if merging the two is feasible. I would gladly pay shipping both ways, obviously.

Wish I saw this yesterday; boxed up both and sent to Apple Saturday afternoon with instructions to call me about what I was thinking.
I don't know if they can sleeve down the TC from .875 to .70/.75 or if the S2 is even rebuildable (the piston is well and truly frozen in the barrel...). I had a spare S2 reservoir, but they are being reproduced again now, so didn't sent that along. Hoping they can resurrect the S2 since that seems to be the preferred for a booster-less TC. If not, and the TC MC is rebuildable, I've kind of gotten used to the hard pedal.
I do know the one in the car is on its way out...the bottom of the cross box is damp with brake fluid. Keeping an eye on it if (when?) I drive it. I am NOT looking forward to getting at that top nut; thinking if worst comes to worst, considering the MC is leaking anyway, removing the two screws holding the back of the reservoir on, draining the fluid, swinging the reservoir out of the was as much as I can, to give me some additional space to get at the top nut. I really think they put the master on THEN installed the steering rack. Don't want to try and or displace the rack; those bolts going through the aluminium steering rack mounts are probably corroded in place...and I'm not going to risk snapping the bolts. I have a spare set of rack mounts...but that job with the lack of clearance I can see turning into a real goat rodeo, if not incentive to pop the body off. Either that...or judicious application of a sawzall...
