nearest the pedal is joined to the second piston by a pushrod.quote:
Definitely NOT. That "pushrod" is either a stroke limiter, or a means of carrying the primary return spring. It merely abuts the rear face of the
secondary piston, and is not sealed to it. Therefore, the primary piston area ia the full diametra area.
Still working on these diagrams - always necessary for such explanations.

The only word of wisdom about ford Master Cylinders that I have to give is, DON'T EVER remove the plastic tag around the cylinder, cos there are so
many variations that ford did, that the Numbers on them are critical for getting the right replacement, should you ever need to replace.
And the Numbers are NOT stamped on the Bodies
Hi JGG, Couldn't agree more. Any ID is better than none. However, any number stamped on a mcyl body will probably be a casting part number, and will
be relative to the mcyl supplier, not FoMoCo.
