Trying to Source Specific Brake MC
scootz - 2/12/16 at 06:58 PM

Evening all!

I'm trying to find a non-servo tandem brake master cylinder with a 19mm / 0.75" bore.

Easy enough you say... but I want one with either a horizontal or vertical mounting flange (rather than the more common diagonal mounting flange).

Can anyone help with finding such a thing!?

Thanks on advance.

Triumph Spitfire or some FX4D Taxis, you could also look at very early VW Polo

it would have to be a very late spitfire, most only have single circuit brakes

Cheers guys... off for a trawl through the internet to see what I can find!

Fiat 124 has a diagonal mounting flange.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

20.6mm any use?

Not really sure about the effects of changing size?

It's for a set of Lotus Elise derived calipers (front and rear) on an un-servo'd car. I know that the original Elise S1 MC was a 0.75, but the diagonal flange used by Lotus is no use to me (and I don't want the hassle of fabricating a conversion plate).

Can anyone offer a general opinion as to how far either side of a manufacturers MC spec you can go before screwing up the performance, or pedal feel?

Drawing a blank with the Spitfire (0.7) and the FX4 (no reference).

Just on the off-chance that anyone else is looking for such a thing (unlikely as it is)... I found one!

£112 delivered from the States. Prob £150 by the time import charges are paid, but it save me a bit of head-scratching!

Found this...
