Brake Master Cylinder Selection
I am putting together my son's truck and need advice on what size master cylinder to use. I would like to use the stock '82 power booster, but I am not committed to that. If there is a good kit with the booster and master, then I would be open to get that.
Our brake set up is this: Front, Corvette C5 two piston calipers with 13" discs. Rear, Corvette C5 single piston caliper with 12" discs with mechanical parking brake. What bore size should I use for the master cylinder? I want to keep power brakes for this truck. If I decide later to upgrade to a hydroboost system, can I use the same master cylinder?

Re: Brake Master Cylinder Selection
Found this on the internet about c5 brakes in a 1st gen Camaro.
I think some of the same thinking would apply. http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=163007 Anyone else have first hand knowledge of C5 brakes? You might contact member way2lo2.

Re: Brake Master Cylinder Selection
Thanks, Keith.
I will call Borris, he is the one I got my front set up from.
