Hi everybody, because I'm swapping my car (pictures next week ) I'm going to have some excess funds which can pour into the never ending money pit called my Dax Rush. The next build pack goes as follows:

Pedal Box with balance bar
£240.00
Master Cylinder (Girling .625 or .75” bore)£ 55.50 (includes banjo)
Master Cylinder (Girling .625 or .75” bore) £ 55.50 (includes banjo)
Reservoir 2/3 way, clear with warning light switch & s/less steel bkt.
£ 68.00
Hose ~ Reservoir to master cylinder (each) includes clips (Front Master Cylinder).
£ 14.60
Hose ~ Reservoir to master cylinder (each) includes clips(Rear M/Cylinder).
£ 14.60


Now someone posted a brilliant link for cheap master cylinders the other day but I cant find it and they were about half the price! Does anyone have this link or similar where I could also source a different (read: cheaper) resevoir with a warning light switch and some connecting brake hose?

OBP maybe?? Forum members too.

i would have to agre craig the DAX stuff is majorly over priced and you can get most of it at half the price they sell it at, shop around abit.

Hmm cheers guys, am I right in thinking we get 10% off from OBP?

They're definitely a much more attractive price . Were brakesint similar for you ash?

Ouch...

Shop around mate... those are expensive prices.

Check Ebay, etc etc

The pedal box for £240, ought to come with master cylinders and a ballance bar.

Master cylinders should be less than £30 each (in my books).

Check out Europa, and CBS, and a few other sites.

My hydraulic Clutch M/Cylinder (with integral reservior) was priced at £60+

I got one from Paddock spares for a Land Rover for £19 (genuine girling, Pattern one was £9). Exactly the same, except it was an Inperial thread on the pipe fitting.
One adaptor later (Europa spares at £2:50) and its all sorted.

Shop around and dont be in such a hurry unless you are trying to beat the IVA/SVA deadline.

Try Rally Design... £26 there

same one was £40 on Ebay

Finally, as brakes are mission critical parts, I will not skimp on Pattern parts, only OEM or manufacturer badged for those parts, as you life is worth more than a few quid saved.

More haste, less speed as my Gran used to say.
