Yesterday I bought one and it costed me 59 euros.
It is in fact almost the same.
Did you found any improvement fitting the 75īs on the 33? |

Well I can't give you a straightforward answer I'm afraid. I did a full big brake conversion (Willwood) so I needed the bigger Master Cylinder (MC) to compensate. I never tried it out with the standard 33 setup because my mechanic just went ahead and swapped in the 75 MC because he couldn't bear to leave me with the long pedal travel and compromised brake feel. So in answer to your question - Yes. |

It is not a straight forward fit.
It almost...
You have to change one of the brake lines, the one that is below, but it is simple.
I put it on the 33 and because I didnīt have anyone to help me, I couldnīt bleed the circuit.
But even I didnīt bleed the circuit, I went to test the car and it started to brake, and brake, and brake...
Todayīs morning its braking very well.
Better than before...
Latter I will bleed the brakes. |
