Pete you could try my 200B master cylinder if you really wanted to. I want to
take it off and do some changes to it anyway - it is mounted really 'dumb'.
Have you looked into one of those Patrol rear adjusting valves? I believe they
were fitted to the back of commercials or something to stop the rears locking
up under the different weights of full tray or not. Someone else could elaborate!
I seem to remember someone being required by an engineer to fit on of these
to a 1600?
Someone help me here!!! :)
