    Default Vn master cyclinder upgrade

    I've recently discovered I have a leaky master cylinder in my vn v6. I plan to carry out a brake upgrade in a yr or two as I will be dropping a 304 in, so I was considering the vt twin piston upgrade. Money is tight right now, and my rotors and pads are basically new, so I was thinking rather than chuck another vn master cylinder in can I use a vt one? That way it won't need to be upgraded in the future?

    i just upgraded my front brakes couple days ago
    im running the vt set up and it bloody good better than the v8 ones i had on my vr
    but dont change your master cylinder for a vn v8 go for the vt it works better
    because im still using my normal vr v8 one and i have 2 press the pedal a bit harder than before
    plus it still feels ther air in the brake lines but at least it stops so thats good for me so far

    I run the same setup and Markovr on my 3 VN's. VT M/C and booster (modded rod and brakets) with stock calipers and rotors. Cheap upgrade and well worth the effort.

    You will also need a set of line adapters. ($70 or $80)
