hey im currently doing up a 73 ke20 ive got the front brake conversion done (magna disks and early commodore calipers) and i was now wondering on you guys advice on which brake master cylinder to use and or booster to use? its a bit hard on braking even though its a massive overkill.
any help appreciated. cheers

boosted or unboosted.
if unboosted, then use the master cylinder size of the KE20, multiplied by the increase in the caliper piston size. that way you have same pedal travel (slightly smaller as rears are not bigger are they?), and same feel.. just better braking...
or if boosted, go with whatever size the commondore had.

I use a PBR VH44 remote booster - front brakes only are assisted.
