BlownCorona Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Can anyone confirm if its okay to run a brake master cylinder on an angle. I mean a clocked angle, about 10 degrees of center max. I've read abit online but either it talks about the cylinder being on an angle front to back, or I can't figure out what kind of angle they mean. My new twin circuit manual master cylinder does fit, but the resovoirs are very close to the inlet manifold and I'd like to open up that gap. The outlets are on the bottom, and the bleed nipples are on the side but if rotated would be facing a bit further down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Will be fine. Keep the fluid topped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.H. Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Remote resovoir. Lots of modern cars have them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 I did consider a remote res, but it's such a small angle that it shouldn't be required, If bleeding becomes and issue I can just jack that side up and it would be pretty close to level again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Mate if the ports on top of the master are covered in fluid then you will be golden. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Figured as much but couldn't find anyone saying it outright. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 /no different to hitting the brakes while going around a corner or driving on a banked surface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 . While that is true, left hand banks would now have an amplified effect. That said its only max 10 degrees so won't matter fuck all, you'd have to crank in nearly 80 degrees for it to actually uncover the ports, and there are other obveous problems with that scenario. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't creating bleeding issues. Also gives me the added benifit of being able to drill the new bolt pattern into fresh steel.
