New MC-4A 11
Because the sides are narrower and closer to the ends of the MC-4A's the old outer spacers no longer fit and it would be impossible to further shorten them, they have been replaced with a couple washers.

New MC-4A 12
The whole assembly should now fit, length and width, within the existing space. So the unit may be dropped down as needed to allow for it being taller. Due to outside commitments, it looks like it will be Wednesday (18th) before I can get to the hanger

The MC-4A's must fit within this length and that 3/4" should allow the fit.

With the attach fitting fully screwed on to the end of the thread, the last bit of thread is just visible in the fitting.

Now the aft ends of the MC-4A's will be within the limits while the brake levers are properly positioned for operation and fit.

Now we need mounting brackets. 1 1/4x1 1/4x1/8 aluminum angle has been cut to length (5 1/4 in) and is positioned on the brake mount for drilling the mounting holes using a wood block and clamp.

2012004 15 - In order to get the new MC-4A's to fit within the available space, the threaded end has to be shortened so that when the attach fitting is screwed on fully, there will be not threaded end protruding into the attach fitting. Removing this muc

And it's too wide to fit in between the mounts. I have 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 1/8 Al angle on order to fix the width problem and I think I know how to fix the length problem as well. Then I can address the height issue...

2012 04 12 - Well, didn't take very long today to decide the new brake assembly wouldn't fit. It's too long.

Assembled everything. You can see the spacers fit to hold the master cylinders in alignment. Plumbing in place. The unit is about 1 1/2 in. taller than the old Jaymar. I'm wondering if it will fit or will I have to lower it in the mount? We'll see to

2012 04 11 - Bits arrived today. Relocated (lower) the holes for the bolt which will hold the aft ends of the master cylinders. Also removed more metal from the brackets.

Here are the new MATCO master cylinders connected to the old levers sitting on the old base. Now how do we contain the back ends to make this work?

I elected to make up a support structure from some 12" 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 wide aluminum angle i had in my aluminum bin. Cut two lengths 5 1/2" long and clamped them to the base well centered and drilled out holes matching the base. Attached them t

Cut away excess material on the sides of the angle. Will probably cut away more excess material from the base part of the angle.

The longest AN3-30 bolt I had was too short so a longer bolt is on order as are aluminum spacers to maintain proper alignment of the ends of the MCs.

2012 04 09 Well, after 4 weeks and buckets of DOT5 spent trying to make the Jaymar master cylinders work I have given up. They are just crap. So I'm taking the base of their base and building a new brake master setup using MATCO MC-4A master cylinders.

The nasty job of bleeding brakes. How do you do it without assistance? You get out the inspection camera and point the camera head at the brake reservoir.

Add the 2 meter extension to the 1 meter length and run the viewer down to the brake area.
