monkev - August 4th, 2008 at 04:59 PM

need help!! I have purchased a new dual circuit brake master cylinder and would like to know what model ford, golf or volvo divided reservoir fits directly into master cylinder

none of them with out some fiddling

The closest one is the Series 1 Golf it has the same centers for the outlet but you may have to get some different rubers to allow a good airtight seal

Ive had this on my car for over 10 years now no probs

thanks I will give that a go you dont know what rubbers by any chance?

i had to make an adaptor bush up to go from the different sizes to make it fit i used a bit of nylon and glued it to the reservior outlet

the later ones may also fit and have bigger outlets to match the bug inlets u may have to visit the wreckers with yr master cylinder

its a goo mod as it hide the brake fluid reservior out of the way
