REFLECTOR: Leaking Brake Master cylinder

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

Brian, 
 
In my MATCO paperwork it says the calipers need 450 psi of force to make  
rated torque on the brakes (600 MAX before calipers start to bend). What I am  
curious about is if the factory master cylinders have enough PSI for the MATCO  
requirement. If they are low, then an exact replacement would be low also. 
 
They may work, but not be developing Max. Torque.. That would mean you have  
to brake longer... = hotter.. etc. 
 
Just curious.

Are you  talking about max operating pressure?

pi * (5/8)^2 = 1.227 ~ 1.25  in^2
needs 360lbs of plunger force.

Same diameter as the originals,  so performance would be identical.
