Hi All.
Does the collective know if I will be able to use the rear brake master cylinder on my Honda Deauville to operate Golf Mk3 calipers on my reliant axle?
The Honda has a master operating the rear brake caliper. It's mounted fairly high up under the seat.
All thoughts would be very welcome.

Don't know about that particular combo, but usually the original bike cylinder doesn't have enough oomph to fully engage the car brakes. Accepted practice is to replace it with something like a 0.625 bore Girling cylinder.

Yes thought that would be the case. I've got a new cylinder off a Landy. Think this will be the way to go.
