I am having a issue stopping my car. It has manual Kelsey Hayes disc up front and 10 by 2 1/2 inch drums out back. The brake pedal is rock hard but I have to use both feet just to stop it normally at a light. The brakes won't lock up and I could never stop it in a panic. When I rebuilt the brake system 10 years ago I think I used a 1 1/8 bore master, which would explain the rock hard pedal. But I can't remember for sure.
I was thinking of using a aluminium master with the 2 bolt flange. What size bore would I need? Is the 1 1/32 bore that much easier to push than a 1 1/8 bore? Or is a 15/16 master the best for manual disc?
What year of cars had aluminium master cylinder should I look for? I know I need a 4 bolt to two bolt adapter, and I have an adjustable pushrod already.
I was hoping someone that has already done this could help out. Thanks.
