I did not notice any change in the effectiveness of the brakes. They
still fade quite easily. The only reason I made the change was for ease of
maintenance.

Gary did your brakes improve with the newer type
master cyls.

Gerard,
I replaced my original Matco brake cylinders (reservoir on top) at the
brake pedals with the newer remote reservoir cylinders. The remote
reservoir I mounted on the firewall is from Van's (VA-107) as it is
small and more compact (round aluminum tubing with welded bracket and
fitting) than the larger square box looking (and red) reservoir supplied
with the Lancair kits. The Van's reservoir has a special breather
cap.
I got tired of the difficulty in checking the fluid supply on the old
style top reservoirs at the pedal. Very inconvenient to access.
