Speaking of brakes......

2002-04-25 by Jeff Caraway

Hi All,
While the subject of brakes is still fresh in our minds, I have a
burning question.
Does everyone have a single reservoir master cylinder for their brakes?
If so, is it bigger or the same size as the clutch master cylinder.
If not, please describe what you have. I will be rebuilding my brake
system in the future and would love to put a dual reservoir master
cylinder in place of the single unit.
 
Oh... and does anyone know what applications (GT6, MG, etc.) the master
cylinders came from?
 
 
Any info is much appreciated!

Mark,

I looked in my spares and all I have is 7/8" and 1" rubber seals.  My 
rear brake cylinders are 3/4" also.  Any foreign auto parts store 
should have Girling kits.  I ended up getting Volvo kits at the local 
shop.  Just have them look up brake kits and get a 3/4" one.  The 
seals are all about the same.  I used a brake master cylinder 3/4" 
seal to replace my clutch slave cylinder seal?!

Good luck!  Hope you can make Davis show on Saturday.
