You can play with this as much as you like. The bottom line is manual brakes + multi piston calipers = no brakes.



I don't know what you've been smoking but it's time to put it down.

The hot rod has manual brakes with 8 piston calipers up front and 4 piston calipers out back. The master cylinder is a manual unit off a 1981 D150.
Judging by your statement with 24 total pistons in the system you'd think I'd accelerate when I hit the brakes.

Rest assured that my brakes are the best they've ever been and are on par with any good non-electrically assisted/manipulated brakes on Moparts.


A manual master cylinder works great with fixed or sliding calipers. The type of caliper makes no difference. It's simple physics. You're making hydraulic pressure. As long as the master is properly sized and has the proper pressure applied you are going to get the correct line pressure.

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
