Greetings All,
Anybody done the conversion on a MKVII to a dual circuit brake system to replace the original single circuit?
I haven’t but I’ve thought about it.
Years ago there was an artical in Jaguar Driver about using a double acting servo from a VW. Here in UK there is a company called Car Builders Solutions which offer a similar servo.
The set up in Jaguar Driver had a single feed from the master cylinder rather than go to the trouble of fitting a duel. Unfortunately I don’t have the artical anymore.
Obviously there is plenty of room underneath the Mk7 unlike other models to put the servo. A balancing valve could be used to even things out if necessary.
Modern servos may be more suitable for disc brakes cars rather than drum, but I’m not sure.
Greetings All,
I’m going to find out what the piston bore size on the Jag is via an interchange book and then see what else is out there only in a dual circuit.
I seem to remember the single circuit unit was the same as a dual circuit Jeep unit.
I have some parts that I need to check an interchange book, when I get the info, I’ll post it here.
That is how Rover 2000s did it.
Hi, please can you tell me where you ended up with this upgrade to your MkV11.
I have a MarkV111 rebuild in motion and one suggestion has been dual circuit brakes. I’m just not sire of the benefits versus single system.
Thank you in advance.
Hi Chris - welcome to our world!!
I’m no expert but I the obvious main benefit would be safety.
You should find that you need less effort on the pedal as well, and with experimentation this can be adjusted to suit your preference but I guess only by substitution of parts in the servo or the servo or master cylinder itself so this would be expensive to get just the way you want.
Maybe someone has a better knowledge of this or who has actually got it to work and can recommend the right parts.
