Brake mastercylinder????

Hi guys

Can someone tell me if there is some other brake mastercylinder that fits on the milano whitout ABS that has a bigger piston area,i think i need that after fitting 4pot brembo calipers from the 156 gta.

Or is it someone that has done a similar mod an can tell me what to do,i think the pedal goes to far down before it gets stiff....

The first things I'd check is to ensure that there is no air in the system and the front wheels bearings and rear brake pad clearances are to spec.

If your 75 has a 20mm master cylinder, then a 22mm from another Alfa (Alfetta, GTV6) may solve the low pedal issue. If you already have a 22mm master, then a 23mm master from a Porsche (911 I think?) may work.

In my Montreal I have 4 piston Wilwood calipers up front and went with the 164 master which is 24 or 25mm, can't recall now. That should help you. They are also aluminum which is nice too. Peter.
