brake component website - help tracking down a supplier
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?

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
Linky
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.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
Geoff

I am signed up for their email offers and often get details of discount periods through. They also do the pedal boxes, balance bars, fluid reservoirs
and the attachment hoses so am sure they will sort you out with a deal - definately worth dropping them an email. I bought one of their battery
brackets and found them great to deal with (an an excellent product at a great price).
Rally Design prices dont include VAT remember so a little dearer than OBP on the m/cylinders at least. I wish companies would quote inclusive
prices!!

0.625" master cylinder application was/is Hillman Imp brake or clutch
0.7" master cylinder application is Sunbeam Imp Sport brake (this model had a servo)
