Matco makes a 'brake intensifier kit' for the master cylinders.- It's bas
ically a sleeve that lets you use a smaller piston so-you get more brake
pressure per foot pressure.
-
I got the kit and installed it.- It's not a night and day difference, but
a noticable improvment.- Without the kit my matco brakes were inadequate
, but I would call them acceptable with the kit.-
-
The kit is complete, but for some reason that I don't understand they make
the customer trim down the sleeve to fit.- The kits are only $16 so I'd r
ecomment buying and extra one in case the sleeve trimming doesn't go well o
n one.-

Scott,
I did the same with the same result. If you used the kit supplied break
peddles, you will get a better boost in performance by moving the master
cylinder attach point as close to the rudder bar as possible. I was able
to move mine about 1/2" and it made a big improvement. This was
recommended by George Happ (Matco).
Tim
