Title: 90 Brake options
Post by: FITZ4X4 on July 31, 2008, 13:49:59

Hi I recently puchased a B-Reg 90 that is retro fitted with a 3.9 V8.

I'm not happy with the brakes. It has a rangie disk braked rear axle standard 90 front. I've renewed the pads and replaced the fluid. I think the servo and or the master cylinder may be past their best.
1. What other options are there other than the standard replacement.
2. What later model servo and master cylinders fit?
3. I can get a 300 tdi Defender 90 brake servo/master cylinder unit will that fit?
 
Any advice welcome.

Thanks
Fitz

Hi, before splashing out on another servo and master cylinder, check you vacuum hose for leaks, I've found this has been the cause of many problems with poor braking.... and it's worth flushing your brake lines through with new fluid, hope this helps....

good luck John.
