Brake Master Cylinder

What Master Cylinder should I have with DH Drums and a booster.

I fitted a new Master Cylinder a year ago now and Had rubbish Brakes since. They just don't feel like the old system at all

We did discuss this last year and I went from one end to the other trying to sort it out. Don't get me wrong they work and past the MOT,but I am not happy as I know they car and should be better

The old master cylinder had a sprung wire snap over fixing the lid on but the New one has a single bolt. could it be that I have been supplied a wrong part

like a power disc cylinder and not a power drum one

what is the correct part number for the WAGNER items or has any one got a pic

PLEASE.

Did you bench bleed it prior to installation?

Yes Pete

The old brakes would slide you out of the seats but these just stop ok

They are the Iconic American brakes, Not good but do work ish

I just can't work out why they should be that different from the old set up

It could be that the new cylinder has a larger bore,more displacement but lower working pressure.
