Thanks heaps Wendy, I see the problem is my HQ master cylinder is 16.3cm long and causes all types of problems.
Will be changing it for an XB master cylinder.

Cheers,

Mike

Do any of you guys who have done the torana/XB master cylinder remember how much the XB master cylinder cost you? A local brake mob is saying $320 for the cylinder and adapter? Does it need an adapter?

Repco.. Whatta rip off they are! Those kinda parts your better off sourcing from a brake distributor, I paid $150 from better brakes in cheltenham; I'm sure there would be a similar shops in other major cities. Anyways I got the lj booster xb master set up, works great. From memory I saw xb masters on evilbay for around the 180 mark, shop around, all those little savings add up.

And no adaptor needed. Holes in firewall need to be elongated for booster and so do bolt holes on master. Easy done

Hi ahh

 Ray got the master cylinder at trade price for $180. doesnt need an adaptor.as it wont fit under the bonnet...all u need to do is elongate the two holes in the master cylinder and adjust the push rod in the booster shorter.
thats it!
Cheers Wendy & Ray
