Mecatech master brakes cilinder installation help

[Folly]

I want to install master cylinders on an FG MT, but I'm missing some holes. Can anyone help me?

You only need two holes offset from each other, like caddy corner.

So I have to drill in the chassis first?

Yes you do, find the correct size screws for the master cylinder and drill two holes from the top. Then countersink the holes from the bottom. I can show you pics of mine when I get home later.

The FG MT chassis isn’t pre-drilled for dual master cylinders. You’ll need to mark and drill the mounting holes use the Mecatech base as a template, then bolt it through the chassis plate. Make sure the linkage lines up and check clearance before drilling. I can show you with pictures how I did mine

I am still struggling to get it mounted. Is there anyone with install pictures of Mecatech brakes on a Monster or Marder? I am have trouble to combine the brake and gas on the same servo….

Any good

Perfect, thanks. New attempt….

they mount on the slope of the chassi not the flat mate

The problem for me is that the servo arm doesn't extend enough to apply the brake sufficiently. It's the same as yours, but I'll just take a look at how to adjust it.

same here but with fine tunning they work perfect,,,, 3/4mm movment on brake arm is enough to full lock brakes when they are bleed correct

Thanks Paul!
