hurst don't it?


rebuilt my old Hurst master cylinder that the previous owner had junked for a new one. Lucky it found its way into a box he saved and not the garbage. The piston was seized up but I was able to clean it up and put a new cup in it and it works again, well I guess with a Hurst disc setup "working" is definitely subjective.

Weren't these popular with flattrackers for their lack of braking power?

They would pass the no brake rule no problem with their stppping power so yeah probably

I have one on my Panhead I run at Bonneville and it absolutely sucks. But I have a couple miles to slow down - you have massive attachments to be running one on the street...
