Upgrade your master
cylinder and retain reverse control levers by Jesse Katz |

The problem with CJ750 brakes is they
dont work! So you bought the double disc brake
set-up, thinking this will be great, I will be able to
stop the beast now. The big disappointment is that the
master cylinder sent from China isn't big enough to move
the to calipers to clamp more than a baby can lift
weight. What did you do? |

You dont want a big master cylinder on
your handlebars. You like the reverse levers. You don't
want to pay big bucks for an aftermarket cylinder. The
answer is to make you own. |

We bought a clutch slave cylinder from a
junk yard Mistubishi for $5. The bore diameter on the one
with the disc was 13mm and the one from the car is 24mm
(5/8"). We fabricated a mount to hold the cylinder. |

It takes a ½" cable movement to move
the clutch master 1½", all the while keeping the
reverse handles set up, and tucking the whole thing under
the tank like a late 70s BMW! The brakes work great now.
Problem solved with an afternoon's worth of work. |
