signorc 31 Report post Posted April 6, 2020 Hi Barnett, Thanks for the disk/drum mc difference! Very clear and thorough :) i'm gonna try my friend's booster....it comes with a 15/16" bore mc (I currently have a 1" bore)..... so comparing it to mine.......I'll be getting more boost and a smaller bore. I can only assume it should do the trick. I'm gonna have to try to adapt my current mc lines to the new one without kinking them. Thanks again for your (& everyone else's) suggestions and comments Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

signorc 31 Report post Posted April 16, 2020 Hi everyone from the same old lockdown Italy..... Installed the new 8" double diaphragm with the 1" bore mc and I can FINALLY lock the front wheels! I had to take the front brace off cause the booster wouldn't fit in between the brace and inner fender.....but it's all good now! Tomorrow I'll adjust the proportioning valve amd I think the last thing to do is wait for the lockdown to end so I can take it for a drive :) On a side note.... things are not looking any better here in Italy. The summer beach activities and retaurant outings don't look like are gonna happen in 2020. Stay safe and I hope you're all doing well. All the best, Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

signorc 31 Report post Posted April 16, 2020 ...sorry I didn't explain myself well. I removed the brace and then reinstalled it. I even use a crossmember being I have a convt and want as much stability as possible. I even had the lower cross bar reinforced and strengthened. I bought a rear sway bar years ago but they sent me the wrong one :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
