[?]: Brake Master Cylinder

[whatdamn]

Guys,

may i know what is the reason behind changing to a brake master cylinder such as the one pictured below? i've noticed the R3 Putra having 2 cylinders of the same size next to the clutch that looks something like this...i'm wondering the purpose of changing it compared to the stock one, is it for adjustability of the brake pedal height?

pls enlighten. :)

Are you refer to this ?

If yes that would be the hydrolic clutch fluid container

by having tandemed pistons in the brake master cylinder, you can have a more even pressure towards all wheels.

2 pistons means better presure applied instead of one. every piston feeds either front brake or rear.

this is only a simple answer, not complete definitions though. hope it helps.

g88,
i know what that is la hahha. but that's not what i'm referring too.

zan,
ah i see, so it works like a brake bias for the front and the rear?

yupp, and its also fail-safe in a way, let say one master cylinder piston failed, the other one still works though with lower efficiency.

zan,
i see, thanks! :)
