Symptoms of having the wrong sized Master Cylinder?

[jlwdvm]

Master is in the manual pedal hole and the bushings for the pedal and clutch are new. I have an adjustable Wilwood proportioning valve and I can get fronts and/or rears to lock up if the brakes are warm and I really slam on it.

I can't remember the exact numbers we were seeing, but they were fine for the system.

I guess my feeling with the system at this time is that when I am driving around town I seem to have to think ahead to stop. A panic stop in traffic might be a little iffy.

Looks to me like you have everything working properly for a manual brake setup. Time to start doing squats, and get those thighs toned up!

Some don't like when I say it, but manual brakes on the street aren't ideal. They are made for the track.

I have a 7/8" MC too and when first installed my brakes were not working. Issue was the pedal rod adjustment. I didn't have the rod long enough to account for the long pedal travel. I lengthened the rod and had amazing brakes. I would check that first.

I assume you have manual brakes too?

Yes they are manual

The pedal rod nearly bottoms out on the brake switch mounting area. I would presume it is long enough since I can't adjust it out any further.

Yep... I don't even like them for autocross either. They take way too long to react for my taste.
