Master cylinder brake stopper BEFORE & AFTER video within

Postby kazama » Tue Mar 25, 2014 7:59 pm

As you can see noticeable flex in both clips but the second being much less. It's a very noticeable mod IMO. From a quick lap around the block my brake peddle now feels very firm as opposed to the slight sponginess i used to experience.

Keen to test it properly on my next drive

Ps: My goodness was that brake stopper a pain in the ass to install

Good stuff man - can easily see the difference. Although I was expecting to see less deflection with the brace.

I might do the same thing - I wouldn't mind comparing a brace that bolts to the MC fasteners and one like the one you have installed which braces the back of the MC.

So did I to be honest. So I fiddled with it a bit this morning and this is the outcome. MUCH better :)

The brakes feel so different now. It really makes modulation so much more precise.

Yes, that would be an interesting comparo. Maybe someone with a omgpham or similar brace could record a video?
