brake master cylinder, what to do?
ditchlewis - 23/7/08 at 06:47 PM

i'm about to repair my braking system.

i has 2nr 90mm master cylinders (bolt hole spacing) which have failed, and one 70mm master cylinder which i bought off ebay unused but old stock and so may have been standing for years.

the car has been built around the 90mm master cylinder and i have a repair kit on order.

should i repair the old master cylinder (one of which is 3 years old and only has 800 miles of use (must have failed due to not being used and dried seals) or should i cut the pipework around and drill more mounting holes and use the smaller one?

what i don't use i will repair or put on ebay.

what to do?

which were the best?

Have patience and wait for the repair kits to arrive, that's my opinion anyway.
