Anyone found a cheap(-er) source for the master cylinders and remote reservior?

Cheaper than the usual outlets! I tried Maccess but I wasn't really sure if they're used on any 'standard' road car so I could try the local auto factors?

Cheapest master cylinders I've found so far are £24:50 + VAT from Rally Design. How does that compare?
What bore size do you intend to use?

I don't know what they're supposed to be - all I know is that they need to have remote cylinders and fit the Luego pedal box.

£25 is cheap though...

I'm using Tilton 1" cylinders with small remotes and a bias bar. Haven't quite figured what to do with the the old 'fluid level warning indicator' chestnut yet...
What is everyone else doing in that regard?

Not cheap though. £50 odd, plus carriage. Very good though. Used them on autocrossers for years, never been let down.

Thanks for that Sparky.

Do they fit the standard pedal box? Where can I get them from?

Hi Chris. They do fit the Luego pedal box - I 'knew' they would anyway, but I just tried them for good measure!!

Got my Tiltons from Racers Hardware in Peterborough

The last ones I bought were about 3 years ago, and they were £55.00 each then.

Another thought is Trans Auto Sport.
Their catalogue lists Girling (Lucas) cylinders and remote reservoirs from 0.625 to 0.750 inches. Prices start at £20.11 for the cylinders, the reservoirs are £10.15 and they also keep double reservoir brackets at £3.15, but I think you could probably make your own!

Don't forget there's VAT on that lot too!
