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 :roll:
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 :help:

what is the correct part number for the WAGNER items or has any one got a pic :thumbright: :oops: PLEASE.

Did you bench bleed it prior to installation?

Yes Pete :thumbright: 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 :roll: :scratch: 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.
