Dark Ride Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Can it be done? My current master cylinder is hitting my downpipe on the bottom lines. Obviously the 2nd gens only have a front and a rear port that feeds into the abs module, which splits them into four there. Since this is a non abs car, is there any reason I couldn't just split the 2 lines coming out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Second Gens have separate prop valves further back in the system inline. I'll bet it's the same pressure on both of those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ride Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 That's right, I remember that on my gtp. Is it just on the rears? Installing those inline wouldn't be difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 I haven't been into the front brake lines on the Monte, Can't imagine why there would be front ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White93z34 Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 I used a F body master cylinder on my TGP. its angled nice and kinda kicks it up some.  I always wanted to try a J/L/N body one as it would in theory work just the same with factory lines, but just be kicked up a little bit.  pictures of your setup? Imp558 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ride Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Now there's an idea I hadn't considered. I'll take a pictureof what I'm dealing with but yeah an angled master cylinder would solve my problem. I never even thought of that. Do you have a picture of yours?

Dark Ride Posted December 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Thanks, I'll have to read a bit more about what he did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) it looks like he did precisely what you were talking about. He used T fittings. Edited December 8, 2017 by Imp558 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ride Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Interesting. I didn't read the whole thread but it didn't look like he used the prop valves on his. Just used the gen 2/3 master cylinder. According to his research, the gen 2 master cylinder bore is also 1mm larger. I'm a little confused on the angled master cylinder Chris mentioned. I pulled up a couple of camaro master cylinders, but those appeared to get their angle from the booster/firewall. Mounting one to our horizontal setup wouldn't provide any more clearance unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible, I don't know much about them.

Dark Ride Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 So does anyone have any other ideas other than gen 2 mc? I would love an angled mc to give me more clearance but not sure how it would work on our cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
