MC3 VS MC4 SETUP?

6 posts in this topic

Does anyone know if the MC3 can be set up for dual brakes the same as the MC4?

Would there be any difference in braking? I have both.

Ed,

Doesn't look like anyone has experience using these. I was given good advice when I called MATCO with brake or wheel questions.

Thanks Jack,

I also have a pair of Grove MCs, and Grove Brakes, so this mixture will probably fall in the "Experimental" category.

It really does not matter who makes them, they all operate on the same basic principal.  Yes you can set them up dual just like the MC4.

Thanks Leni,

My Grove MCs are 9/16" bore, and I think the Matco MC-3&4 are both 1/2" bore. I think the MC3 has an insert tube in it, and they figured out how to make the MC-4 without the insert. Just didn't know if the valving/piston setup was the same on both series, so you could use the MC3 with dual brakes.

George Happ will often answer the phone when you call Matco. I too have had very good experiences while calling them.
