Identifying Master Cylinder
James - 12/7/05 at 03:56 PM

Just looking for quotes for a m/cyl rebuild kit but not quite sure which one I have. Been told there's 3 or 4 variants.

I have 'F' reg 1989 Sierra Saphire one.
It's the black steel tubular one with a plate steel mounting flange where the holes are on about a 20° slant. As opposed to the cast steel (or ali?) ones I've seen with horizontal mounting holes.

Would I be right in thinking this is the Lucas/Girling one?

Any clues?

Thanks,
James

there are 2 cast type ones. one with mounting holes the same as the tubular type and one with the holes horizontal.

if you look on the brakes international site there are piccys of all 3

HTH

Just spent ages looking for the picture and failing, come back to ask for a link and there it is!
Good move that man!
Thanks Dave!



Seems I have the Girling as I thought.

£20+ for a rebuild kit.


Before I go for the kit, if I consider getting a replacement from the scrappy are there any preferences? Anyone of the four any better than the others? And reasons why? If I change it'll mean re-doing my brake lines so it'll need to be a good reason!


Cheers,
James

Dave, what site is that from. It looks like a useful one to remember for referance of other parts. I presume it does parts for different fords etc.

Brakes International

I know several people on here have used them. Prices can be quite reasonable too.
