Toy Mastercylinder

I ended up using a master of of a 1986 chev 3/4 ton 4x4 mounted on the 98 tacoma dual dia. booster, dana 60 disc front, 14 bolt rear with 3/4 ton rotors and GM 1/2 ton calipers with 47" swampers..............Works perfect!

Did you build an adapter between the booster and M/C Odie? I'm prety sure it won't bolt right up?? :redneck:
 
Thanks Toyotanut, I have an adapter already built ffrom my Willys which had a Toy tub, but was used without the booster, I should be able to modify to fit the booster.

Thanks again.
 
It's not the brand name as much as the design. A solid mounted 2+ piston caliper is a far superior design to a floating caliper.
Sure it is. On a performance street car. For the trail, I'll take the simplicity, availability, and ridiculous cheapness of GM brake components and standard brake line hardware.

totally agree Crusty, but this instance is a matter of how much do I have to do to get it bolted up. Aint weldin these two together.... :redneck:
 
It's not the brand name as much as the design. A solid mounted 2+ piston caliper is a far superior design to a floating caliper. I had Toy floating calipers on the rear axle, they sucked donkey. I've seen the popular GM calipers jam up in a similar way on a few rigs. I'm just trying to avoid paying out the heiney for a set of Baer or Wilwood calipers when I know what I have currently can stop me just fine. :redneck:

Besides, you don't even know what I'm doing. :fawkdancesmiley:

We have had nothing but horrible experiences with the wilwood junk... Even Toy stuff is better than that :redneck:. the toy floating calipers do bring the suck. the GM floating does work much better and the 2wd small calipers or car calipers seem to work for those that want smaller calipers. the Calipers from the toy were never the issue.... it was the rotors that where a little on the "light" side. it just sucks going from standard to metric on the lines. makes trailfixes really NEATO!:awesomework: been there got the t-shirt.
 
I have dealt with willwood stuff/inbread toy stuff/ford stuff and jeep stuff. Almost everything I do now uses 1/2 ton gm stuff and could not be happier--granted I still use ford masters alot....

How's that jamming right rear caliper treatin' ya? :fawkdancesmiley:
 
Gosh, no wonder, a Toy caliper has two to four times as many pistons as a GM caliper. Simple = good.

Yup-and when they fail its usually one piston and you cannot get it to pop out.... In fact the wifes rig that very same thing when I went to do brakes...
 
I dunno---I fixed that :awesomework:

I have had more toy caliper failures than gm stuff over the years...

:silly15: damn. :redneck: The only toy calipers I've ever had an issue with were those celica ones with the parking brake. my rear calipers I'm runnign right now are my old IFS calipers, factory original and still going strong after 21 years. :D
 
OK so the Corvette M/C made it a little better but not good enough. On to the K30 M/C. Anyone/Crash is the mounting hole spread different on the F/E350 M/C than that of the K30?
 
SOLVED
