front brake master cylinder

[Ruko]

Hey all

 

Does anyone know if a front brake master cylinder will work if it is mounted pointing straight up or down instead of flat? I have a friend who is in a wheel chair and we are trying to put hand controls on a little dune buggy for him. I have an extra master cylinder I could mount on the steering wheel but it would have to point either straight up or down. I would hate to mount it up to find it doesn't work and he has no brakes.

I would say no see if you can find him a Honda fl350 Odyssey they have all hand controls 3 point harness ect would be great for some one in a wheel chair.

Ya a 350 Odyssey would make it easy but they are very hard to find. They are what gave us the idea to do this, now we are just trying to make it work.

It won't work unless it is mounted horizontally like it is on the Banshee. The compensating port in it will be in the wrong position to let fluid in and air out. But you could mount it on the frame somewhere and rig up a cable mand bellcrank to operate it remotely. Or could you rig up something using early Baster cable operated brakes.
