Camper Special Master Cylinder and Disc Conversion Q

[GrillMaster]

Have the Camper Special Master Cyliner. Tried to remove the ball and spring from front res. per disc upgrade instuctions. when I pulled the tapered brass piece there was nothing behind it. Anyone have this MC with a disc kit?

was this the big reservoir?

I have seen a lot of rebuilt MC with out check ball installed.

 

[GrillMaster]

yes the big res in the back that goes to the front wheels. I bought it rebuilt from Autozone or Orielly.

No check ball, no spring, no plastic piece. I guess I will know once I bleed and use the brakes. I will just jack up the front to check for drag.

should they be removed? i thought this was a direct replacement

 

[GrillMaster]

Yes the check ball is for drums and would create drag on a disc setup

The camper special master cylinder is already for front disc brakes so no check valve is in there. There should be a check valve in the rear port for the rear drum brakes. If you have rear discs then you would pull that valve.

You remove the check ball & spring on the stock drum/drum M/C after you do the upgrade, not when you switch to a different/larger M/C.
