Series 1 brake master cylinder woes - Land Rovers Only

tobyd · 01-31-2005, 01:31 PM

Hi everyone,

My series 1 brake master cylinder leaks. I can't afford a new one as they are a fortune (£200+ for a series 1 and £13 for a series 2!!) so need to find an alternative idea or refurbish my existing one. I have a reseal kit but not the tools to get the screw parts unscrewed.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Basically the other option is to put a later master cylinder on.

Thanks Edward,
I had that idea too but the diameter of the piston stem that attaches to the female connection to the brake pedal linkage is different. I probably can get round the different number of bolts that attach it to the chassis.

Does anyone know if the piston from a series 1 brake master cylinder will fit a later cb type cylinder?

Thanks again
