Little while ago I posted somit about V6 brakes i've fitted.
Wana get a bigger cylinder to match em. Which one should I go for that will fit straight on?
I've seen a 2.0L Zafira one on ebay. From a year 2000 model with its servo and resovior attached, will that do the job?

Lord knows, doubt it.
IMO the flaw with Nova brakes is the fact the servo & MC is on the other side to the pedal & lots of effort gets wasted through the transfer bar behind the dash. ditch it & fit a Corsa servo & MC in the battery tray, check out a Corsa at a scrapyard.

i also want to know about this as i am about to uprate my brkes either for 288mm disc or 256mm ! i had heard that a mk3 cavalier servo and cylinder can be fitted but not sure if its a direct replacement or oyu need to do some moddification some where along the line!!
HELP!!:confused:
Matt.....
the loss through the pedal being on the other side is minimal imho... come on the rally guys would have all swapped to a corsa setup if it was "that" bad...
as for Bigger MC....... you need a 4 exit type, eg nothing post ohhh 1995/7ish as ABS became much of a std fit item thus making the MS's unsuitable for a non ABS car.
best bet imho is to get a bia pedal box from rally des/ebay etc and have a nice adjsutable braking setup with uber pedal feel :D
Whats the crack with these pedal boxes?? I fancy one for mine! But ive heard a few bad reports about them being difficult to use on tthe road
you have no servo assistance thats all.. so you have a hard pedal from the off. Its a manly way to drive lol.
have you ever been towed with the engine off and tried braking after the 2nd or third time? thats what its like....
