how tight should it be ?

[coopster]

just installed this Brake Cylinder Stopper, does it need to be tight against the cylinder or does it need to flex abit

cheers all

 

[DUFFMAN]

the hole point to it is for it not to flex so it needs to be tight to it

What does this thing do coopster?

 

[coopster]

Well what it's ment to do and what it does could be two different things , but:

During hard braking will twist the toe board where the brake master cylinder is located, and this results in decreased brake pedal effort.

To improve the brake feel further, the master brake Cylinder stopper. What this is is a bolt-on unit that attaches to the back of the master brake Cylinder piston and the suspension tower to eliminate movement on heavy braking. Brake feel will improve as the master Cylinder does not flex anymore.
