Master cylinder suggestions?
I getting ready to fab up my ATV suspension for the front end of my G1. I have acquired the front end suspension, hubs, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and handlebar master cylinder. What can I use for a master cylinder to tie into my brake pedal? Sand rail cylinder? Also, how do I know what size fittings will work with the fittings on the ATV lines? This is a 97 Yamaha Warrior braking system.
Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Re: Master cylinder suggestions?
I am going to try and do yhe same thing. I was think about trying to use a rear brake mc off a bike or quad. I also want to keep my parking brake.

Re: Master cylinder suggestions?
I was hoping to mount it down behind the brake pedal for a direct link, but without a master cylinder I can't take the measurements or come up with a mounting idea. So I need some suggestions on what master cyl to use first, any ideas? Any experience?

Re: Master cylinder suggestions?
you can take the mastercylinder off the handle bars(atv) and place on some round tubing on the frame and run a actuator bar to it from your pedal.

It's funny that you suggested that, I actually was thinking the same thing! I just thought that would be too "hillbilly" of me? Guess not LOL.

Re: Master cylinder suggestions?
That is what I have seen done; they mount the handlebar cylinder under the floor or behind the cowl and make a linkage for it. Some fiddle with the length of the handle to get the leverage right so the disks do not grossly over/under power the cart brakes. I would guess a setup is posted in here someplace, maybe the BB section.

Re: Master cylinder suggestions?
Thanks for the suggestions, maybe that's the easiest way to go. Doesn't sound too difficult and sounds like I can reuse the stock hydraulic lines. Maybe a threaded rod between the pedal and the cylinder handle with an adjustment there.

Take a look here at the Wilwood website. I certain you can find one that will work here. The Master Cylander on my ST4x4 came with a Wilwood..
