Brake Master Cylinder

[Chris_H]

Anyone know if there is any difference in the brake master cylinders fitted across the whole of the calibra range.

The reason I ask is since fitting V6 288mm brakes in place of the original 256mm (as was originally an 8 valver) the brake pedal has always felt a bit crap. Even after fitting braided hoses and trying every different way of bleeding the brakes know to man it still has far more travel in the pedal and doesnt feel as firm.

Was wondering if the V6 or even Turbos have a larger master cylinder with them being fitted with larger brakes as standard.

Any ideas anyone?

When you say feel like crap can you explain a little more...

There is far more travel in the pedal than with the original brakes and pedal doesnt feel as firm its a bit spongy.

I would expect there to be a bit more travel as the V6 calipers are much bigger and therefore need more fluid to push out the larger piston in them I just didnt think it would be as much difference as it is.
