Why you need a Master Cylinder Brace! (FM Live)

Why does your Miata need a Master Cylinder Brace? In this episode, Mike Usrey gives us all the details you need!
www.flyinmiata.com/default/ma...
Under hard braking, the firewall will actually deform, allowing the brake pedal, booster and master cylinder to move. This flex takes away some of your brake pedal stiffness and makes it more difficult to balance the car on the edge of lockup because there's essentially a big spring in the system. You'll find your braking will be more precise and will require less pedal travel.
Have a question for Mike about our Master Cylinder Brace? Leave it in the comments and we'll try to answer them in this week's Live video!

I bought this brace over a year ago with the plans to machine my own manual brake booster delete setup then found honed deveolpments manual brake conversion kit. I ended up making an extension and welding to the FM brace to make up for misalignment and 40mm relocation distance. With manual braking unbraced vs braced holy cow it is required!

Most bang for the buck upgrade after a fluid flush, especially for track use.

I've been searching the net like crazy for one that will fit around my strut tower brace. I've got the cobalt 3 point brace thst connects to the firewall. I can't find a master cylinder brace that will fit my NB2.

is there a way to brace or even a need to brace with a brake boost delete?

Why no right hand drive version and versions for NB Sport ABS with larger brake booster?

@FlyinMiataVideo 2 жыл бұрын

There is no right hand drive version mostly because we live in the US and don't have access to a RHD version for development. There has not been enough of a demand for a brace to fit the larger booster, and fitment get's very tight, but we can possibly look into it.

would you recommend for street use? or not really necessary

@FlyinMiataVideo 2 жыл бұрын

If you are really picky about your pedal feel, you might appreciate it for street use, but it's really meant to help eliminate the firewall flex during HARD braking, such as auto-x and track use.

Will there be one for LHD NDs?

We haven't heard a big demand for that, but we have discussed it for a possible future product.

We literally show a car in the video with our FM strut tower and the FM Master Cylinder Brace installed.

On my 04 It has a cross brace that I haven't seen on other Miatas but, it looks stock. That's why I decided to take a crack at building my own. Since I'm more comfortable with wood I made it out of some oak. Oak is very durable and I painted it flat black so you hardly notice it. I tried a couple of really hard stops and it does make a difference.

Is there a brace that fits the NB ABS system?

@FlyinMiataVideo 2 жыл бұрын

This brace will fit the NB with ABS, as long as you have the 3" brake master (will not fit any car with the 4"), and you can relocate or clear your washer bottle reservoir that sits over the manifold. Sorry we didn't have a sample pic to show you.

@@FusterIsBased That's the easiest way. In the video, the blue car with the brace has the 3" master, while the silver car without the brace has the 4". Side by side, it's very noticeable.

I love your info on miatas however i was thinking you can make smaller videos cuase I find my self skipping half of what you say.

Thanks for the feedback. The length of the weekly videos are usually dictated by the number of questions we get before hand. If we get very few questions, it's usually a shorter video. If we get tons of feedback and questions, the video will naturally get longer as we try to answer all the questions from our social media channels. Feel free to skip around the video, or reach out to our customer support team directly via phone or email if there is specific info you need. Thanks!

@Flyin' Miata He's tripping man, you keep doing you. Most people don't appreciate the technical data, I on the other hand do prefer as much information as possible.
