The brake booster was developed to sit in between the master cylinder and driver’s pedal, to make it easier for it to press the pedal. While the master cylinder’s diameter is already smaller than that of the caliper pistons, the force required to compress it is still great. ...
Interestingly enough it was slightly tricky to find the stuff, even though it was something that I learned about on the old Datsun rebuild as being a critical part of the measuring process. I asked at a couple of different well-known auto parts places for it, and got responses ranging from...
