Master Cylinder

I have been told..... that I may have the wrong master cylinder for my prospective Avon build. It is from an '87 sierra 2.0l Ghia. Apparently there are 2 different sizes.

Can anyone confirm this and let me know how to check if I have the right one ?

And while I've got your attention..... This section has become very quiet lately. Is everyone that disheartened that they don't want to talk about thier Tigers anymore ?

Never had cause to look at Sierra cylinders too closely, but from previous dealings with friends who have built Cat E1s, there are Bendix and Girling cylinders. Only way I ever bothered to differentiate is that Bendix need and 8mm socket anf Girling need a 10mm socket to remove when power stripping donors

the difference between the master cylinders that is of concern, is the distance between the centres of the attaching bolts. the master cylinder you need is the one with a pitch of 92mm.this means it will bolt onto the peddle box.i hope this info will help.

If the car has ABS i was told the master cylinder wont work if you dont want to use the ABS on your car. Thats why i am now looking for a new master cylinder.
