What is the purpose of a tandem master cylinder?

A tandem master cylinder has two separate hydraulic circuits, typically one for the front brakes and one for the rear. This design enhances safety because if a leak occurs in one circuit, the other circuit can still provide some braking power.

What does the integral proportioning valve do?

The proportioning valve allows you to adjust the brake pressure sent to the rear wheels relative to the front. This is important for fine-tuning your brake bias to prevent rear-wheel lock-up and achieve balanced stopping performance, especially after modifying your brake system.

What is the benefit of the 1-inch bore size?

A 1-inch bore master cylinder is a popular choice for many custom brake setups. It offers a good balance of pedal feel and clamping force for a wide range of brake caliper piston configurations, providing consistent performance.

Product Details

This is the Wilwood Compact Tandem Master Cylinder, featuring a 1-inch bore and a black finish, designed for custom braking setups. It includes a right-hand bracket and a proportioning valve, making it a comprehensive unit for builders looking to upgrade or replace their master cylinder. The tandem design is crucial for safety, as it separates the front and rear brake circuits, ensuring you still have some braking power if one circuit develops a leak.

Wilwood is known for making solid braking components, and this master cylinder is no exception. The 1-inch bore size is a common choice for many custom applications, offering a good balance for various brake caliper piston sizes. The integral proportioning valve allows you to fine-tune the brake bias between the front and rear wheels, which is essential for achieving optimal stopping performance and preventing premature lock-up, especially when you've modified your brake system. The black finish gives it a clean, understated look that fits well in most engine bays.

When installing a master cylinder like this, it's important to ensure it's properly bled to remove all air from the system. This unit is designed to be a direct replacement for specific custom applications, so double-check your existing setup to confirm compatibility. Having a reliable master cylinder is key to a responsive and safe braking system.
