Hi all,

I am fitting a floor mounted pedal box from a Tuscan and just want to check if my assumption is right...

The old master cylinder has one line for each front and only one for the back as this is split further down the line with a 3 way to give a feed to each rear brake.




The Tuscan brake master has one feed for front that is split just after it exits the master cylinder ( I cut this out as replacing copper with steel) and one for the back.




There is however a blanked output on the brake cylinder, my assumption is that if I take out the blanking plug and run one of the fronts from this it will work fine, just saves having a 3 way inline.

Also noticed that although both setups use a 0.7 girling master for the clutch, the old one used a large bore copper pipe and the Tuscan one only uses a 3/16 th pipe? I am going to swap over the clutch masters as they both fit.


Any advice welcome.

If both masters fit the Tuscan servo then I would be inclined to stick with the Cerb master.
Not sure why TVR would blank off one of the pipe connections on the Tuscan master. If you are going to use the Tuscan master I'd leave the blanked off one as is. Just set it up with a 3 way connector. You will be guaranteed equal pressure too.

Verb one is too long and would pertrude beyond the footwell based on where the pedal box needs to go.
