1965 4 door Brakes
These are the brakes we have fitted to our 4 door Cortina. You can ONLY purchase the master cylinder and PBR power boosters (if you have a changeover unit) from us. The conversion was done with minimum modifications.

..................................................................................................

Front brakes
They consist of four piston calipers and ventilated rotors.
This bolt-on conversion requires no cutting or welding it still utilizes original Cortina front hubs so our steering geometry remains unchanged. The beauty of this conversion is that we can still run our original 13 inch wheels if we wish. We have plans to further increase the Cortina's braking ability.

..................................................................................................

Rear brakes
Our rear brakes consist of a solid rotor with a single piston caliper on a slide arrangement. All pipes fit to original locations, handbrake is fully functional and we can still can use original 13 inch wheel

..................................................................................................

Tandem master cylinder

With this dual circuit master cylinder fitted to our Cortina Mark One we have increased the safety of our car. Should we be in the unfortunate position, to loose brake fluid e.g.: to the front brakes, we will still be able to stop the car with the rear brakes. A Tandem master cylinder still retains fluid in the remaining chamber.

Fitting a tandem master cylinder has complimented our 4 piston caliper conversion. The increase in piston area can require the use of a bigger bore master cylinder in order to be able to push the pistons onto the pads. Our conversion for the master cylinder 'only' comes tube nuts. This master cylinder will bolt into original bolt locations of the existing master cylinder. Pipe's exit on the motor side NOT on the inner guard side like other conversion on offer. You can purchase a new master cylinder from us pricing is here. For delivery time or if you have any questions contact us.

..................................................................................................

PBR power booster
We used to have this booster fitted to the passenger side of the engine bay now relocated to inside the passenger side guard. This was because of the bigger turbo exhaust manifold.

PBR VH44 power booster. These reduce the pedal effort even more with power assistance supplied through vacuum acquired from the engine. VH40 and VH44 PBR power boosters suit most older non boosted cars. We prefer to recondition your own power booster. These units come with a 12 month return to base warranty. Pricing is here. We are requiring old cores suitable for reconditioning. Do you have any lying about ? Contact us

..................................................................................................

Braided brake lines
We are pleased to be able to offer braided brake lines to replace aging rubber items. These lines come approved by 'dot' and 'tuv' and are ready to fit. Can be purchased as a kit of 3 ( 2 front, 1 rear) or individually. Next day despatch. Find pricing here.
