Master Cylinder ID

[Sideways Tim]

This is my MC and it's leaking - the truck is a '66, but I think this is a MC from an earlier model, could be to do with it being RHD, I don't know.



I'm happy with the brakes, they work fine (apart from one of the rears sticking on when I parked on a slope and the hand brake being pretty much useless!) If I just do a straight swap for a new MC, what year should I be looking for?

Cheers!

I believe 60-62 unit. 1 brake, 1 hydraulic clutch.

Thanks. The unit actually looks pretty solid, so I think I'll try to track down the leak first. Anyone know if these things are prone to fluid loss at all?

Sometimes the fluid can bypass the cylinder and leak back into the reservoir. Its a dual mc that works both clutch and brakes. They are still available from most venders.

Thanks - after looking at it, I think it's just a small leak from around the top cap - should be an easy enough fix.
