Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Looking good. What bore of master cylinders did you go for and how have you joined them to the current pedals simon?

Hi Tom,
If you look at the pic it says what size they are on them but there may be the worng way around (in mocking up) Yes there are fitted to the pedals. I had some mucking about todo but i am happy so far just hope they work lol.

can you not use the rods out of your origional master cylinders?

Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

[quote=fab,8th Oct, 2010]fuck off

I just measured the rod in the original master cylinder. and then went from there.
