BRAKING SYSTEM INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
(g) Is the park brake control adjustable?
Y N N/A
5 MASTER CYLINDER(S)
(a) Is each master cylinder securely mounted to a surface that is
reinforced or of sufficient strength so as to withstand the
repetitive brake control application loads?
Y N N/A
(b) Is any cross shaft used to actuate a master cylinder securely
mounted to a surface that is reinforced or of sufficient strength so
as to withstand the repetitive brake control application loads?
Y N N/A
(c) Is the stroke of each master cylinder’s piston(s) sufficient to
cause a full application of the service brakes with a single
movement of the service brake control without the pedal
“bottoming-out”?
Y N N/A
(d) Is the volume of fluid displaced by the stroke of each master
cylinders piston(s) sufficient to cause all related wheel
cylinder(s)/piston(s) to move from a fully retracted position with
new unworn brake pads/linings to a fully applied position with
fully-worn brake pads/linings?
Fully-worn means:
i. level with rivet or bolt heads on riveted or bolted linings; or
ii. within 0.8mm of pad backing plate or shoe for bonded
linings; or
iii. the limit recommended by the manufacturer.
Y N N/A
(e) If the master cylinder push rods have been fabricated, do they
meet the size requirements of the following table:
Push rod len iagth Push rod d meter
Up to 250mm mm 10
250 to 400mm mm 12
400 to 600mm mm 14
600 to 800mm mm 16
Y N N/A
(f) If a master cylinder push rod is more than 400mm in length, is a
support bearing provided along its length to prevent distortion?
Y N N/A
6 BRAKE BOOSTER
(a) Is the brake booster incorporated into the vehicle’s original
braking system retained?
Y N N/A
(b) If the original brake booster was replaced, is the effort required
by the driver to apply the service brakes unchanged or reduced
by the brake modification?
Y N N/A
(c) Is each vacuum booster and vacuum tank provided with a check
