Discs and drums 90.
Early 90 - front calipers seized so I replaced them with 110 versions (bigger piston diameter) and at the same time I fitted a new master cylinder and servo and all new flexis.
The master cylinder I fitted was the part number for an early 90.
Brakes bled good, and bite hard however the travel on the pedal before any braking action is a couple of cm, then it's very sharp action - barely 'featherable' but the brakes are very good.
Servo is fine and all the usual test to test master cylinder and servo are fine aswell.
My question is:
- could this 'excess travel' be rectified by adjusting the actuating rod (I don't recall
Adjusting it when fitting the new servo/mc)
- or should I fit the early 110 master cylinder (which i believe has a bigger stroke volume) to match the early 110 calipers?
Land Rover must of spec'd different master cylinders for a reason?
Thanks
