 getting ready to weld on the Front Brake Holder (the disc brake I got with the Kwasaki front Wheel) |
 Welded on and Disc Brake mounted |
 The original Master cylinder on the Westcoasters was a Girling made in England.cost about $100 .The one above is a exact replacement made by Wilwood here in the US. cost about $45.Used the 3/4" bore cylinder. |
 The master cylinder mounted in the original postion. Had to add a plate and do some fabricating as the original mounting had been altered to use a Ford masrter cylinder that was to big and the bore to big to work well with the 3/4" rear wheel cylinders. |
 New Master cylinder viewing from top thru the removable service plate. |
Have hooked the rebuilt rear wheel cylinders up to the new foot operated Master Cylinder. Could add a pressure regulator and hook it to the front disc brake ,but am thinking I will put a motorcycle hand operated master cylinder on the handle bars to make it an idependent system. The old Westcoaster has a very good mechanical Emergency brake on the Rear wheels operated by a hand lever to the right of the seat. This will give it three indepedant braking systems, which it may need as the old thing is heavy. |
