diskbrakes

[noise]

i am fitting a mk1 campervan whit front diskbrakes and i wonder if i have to change the master cylinder.

If it's the 1978 you mentioned earlier I would say not.

the van is a 1974 long wheelbase pickupp chassie. the brakes is from a scrapped mk3

Sorry I didn't see that one mentioned when I looked back through your posts. If it helps the first time we did this with an M reg LWB panel van we didn't do the servo. The van was a lot newer then though, so I know it was on the original 74 servo.

Easy choice.You can leave the servo and cylinder.
Or you can do the job properly and change them.

Personally I wouldn't mend something that wasn't broken. I have to say the brakes worked fine for a good 10 years after fitting the axle.

I have been thinking about changing my front from drum to disk brakes. I have an adapted mk 3 master cylinder and servo of my Mk 1 ci. Would I just need a mk 3 axle now? And how difficult is it to do?

[madmark]

right the way to go on this is change the servo,
the origial drum servo isnt right for the job!
i am running the original drum servo and my brakes are rubbish!
every disc brake original van i have seen has a bigger servo than the original with the drum brakes! so mine is on my too do list!

To do it on mine would I need to switch the front axle

[FredTransit]

luckily we don't have to decide, the SWB already has a Mk2 servo!
