dual master cylinder for a 61 Karmann Ghia?
hi guys,
does anyone out there have a decent used dual master cylinder for a Karmann ghia they want to off load? It's for a 61 model if that has any
relevance...
Cheers!
Anthony

Hey thanks mate! Yeah I wasn't sure if most master cylinders would fit my car which is why I put in my year. Ok cool Ill be in touch. My cars been
sitting for 17 years and pushing on the brake is extremely hard. Feels like it's seized. I should probably check it first I guess, but it's pretty
rusty. I'll let you know.

I suggest also fitting a VH44 booster under the L/H/S to improve the braking.

Bushed,the better braking with less effort is well worth the extra time and cost, I fitted mine approx over 20 years ago and love the better stopping
ability without both feet on the pedal under panic stops.The system has always been maintained with new parts as required as it was my daily driver
from Taree to Tuncurry (40 km's of winding road) every day prior to the 60mph speed limits and road realigning.Cheers Les

no prob as not much change from Mk1 to mk 3 Golf then soon after ABS came which I know nothing about
and guys if u have 2L mtr u better get a booster or anchor lol
isky if u have a stock engine it will be good in a karmann without the booster
disk brakes are nice to have instead.| Quote: | Originally posted by kb_ara

Isky I am still running the stock drum brakes on my ghia with the booster as stated in the previous reply,(I was running a big bore ,worked 1600 with
dual strombergs at one stage in my hoon days)the booster is not hard to fit,simply run a vacuum line from the engine up the L/H/S,mount the booster on
the head frame opposite the master cylinder under the L/H steering tie rod,get some new tubes made to length and Bob's your uncle. The difference in
the braking is astounding,it makes a much safer vehicle for a small cost.I have fitted quite a few of these units all with good results. Cheers Les.
