I was thinking of upgrading my rear brakes to a dual piston Wilwood rear brake. I do have a Wilwood pedal box. I currently have a 5/8th master cylinder and would need to replace it with a 3/4 cylinder. Has anyone done this in a car in go cart stage? I m trying to see how difficult it would be to replace it.

thanks

Do you mean master cylinder rather than reservoir?

Sorry, my bad. Yes master cylinder. I guess it shows my lack of knowledge.

Easy change at this stage.

I changed my entire pedal box on a completed car. A master cylinder will be a breeze at go kart stage.
Just be gentle with wires and tubes when you move them around.

3/4' on the front, 5/8" on the rears. That will give you a little more rear brake.
