72 FJ40 master replacement - what to use? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Cruzer · 08-17-2001, 06:35 PM

I have a 72 FJ40 with 4 wheel discs. I've been using the stock drum brake master, which works fine, but it is failing. Is there a better & newer master that would be a direct bolt up or am I stuck with a rebuild or conversion project?

I run a 76 M/C on my 72 with disc's all around and it works just fine for stoppin 35's.

Put in a FJ80 master from 98 on. This is a disc disc master and has a built in proportioning valve, the valve adjust itself. The master will bolt on to any cruiser booster, if you are running one, or will bolt on to your firewall. It runs about $85 at your local auto parts, or better yet call your local recking yard and get it cheaper. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
