On the Titan/Dico Model 10/20 Master Cylinder, what is the purpose of the overload springs that are mounted on the sides?
I need to replace the master cylinder but not sure if I should replace the springs or not. The spring assembly is rusty and I am tempted to replace it if it serves a real purpose.I have drum brakes and on some sites, it shows that the master cylinder with the overload springs is for disc brakes?
