Re: Brake Master Cylinder

Mo,

I hope this new MC works out for you. As an added note I agree with this info from MP Brakes. I have converted both my cars to manual disc/drum and use the # MC1157P/M MC. With this MC the system uses the VL3350 Combination Valve and the PR4722K Adjustable Push Rod.

I got mine from MP Brakes. As I suggested, go to their website and go to the m/c page that has pictures. You'll see the shapes for what they have that will be same as yours where it mounts to firewall.
Basically they have 2 rounded styles and 1 squared to pick from. Don't know what you have so ??? Once you match the shape tp yours then you can go from there. I think you will want MC390360M - deep piston hole for manual brakes and is for disc/drum set up, the other oval style is MC11378M which is also deep piston hole for manual brakes and for disc/drum set up BUT the difference from the first one is in the width, length and height so pay close attention to the deminsions in all of these!! Lastly is the squared style like mine. For disc/drum with manual brake set up what you want is # MC11571P/M. It looks like you have 3 to choose from based on what deminsion and shape you have now. All are $89.95. In addition to this you may also need the flare nut adapters # HW4006 and HW4007. They say they are hard to find. I tried and parts stores here didn't have them, so it is safe to just get them if you order to at least have if needed. I'd call them and see what they have to say as far as your set up. They helped me and were great. 1 888 351 8781. I did what you did, call ask questions and got so many different answers it scrambled my brain. The more questions I asked the more confused it got! My set up is different than yours. I have power drum/ drum. Good luck, Ruth

THANKS ALL ! You have been very helpful.. After researching your
information, I determined what specifications I wanted in a Master
Cylinder. Disc/,drum brake , Manual brakes with 1' bore. Simple huh?
WRONG!. Hard to find a non power brake M/C. And no one could tell me
the difference between the power one and a manual one. Not even the
tech department at Reybestos and Wagner!! None of todays parts books
and computer info list the specs for each M/C-You have to give them
the specific make of car year and modle. That is the only way they can
find anything. Not much wonder counter people don't know anything.
Finally, Cordone tech gave me the part number for the one I want.
Hoorah!. But no one could find that number, so I call the tech guy
back and he says he got that number from a 20 year old partsbook and
it has been dis-continued since 1998!! No one could cross that number-
not available. Finally I was able to find a rebuilt Cordone and
ordered it--will arrive tomorrow. . I will finish the story after it
arrives-----Thanks again!!!!!!.................MO
