  • Need a front brake master cylinder and standard tank for 78

    As the title states, I need a good front brake master cylinder and standard tank, both for a '78 standard.

    Can paypal immediately.

    Thanks

    Also, I really need the reservoir. Previous owner stripped out a screw in the reservoir cap.

      Any master cylinder of any of the years/models will work, except the lh and XJ. The special model has a bit of a slant to it because of the bars they had but still work just fine. BUT not all of the m/c are the same. they changed the way the reservoir mounted so you gotta watch if you try mix and matching. Do you need a working one or are you ok with rebuilding it?

      You could also get a brand new one from WWW.mikesxs.com just make sure you get the one for dual front discs.

      Same applies for the tank, any year/model will work. There are a few minor changes if you go with a special tank though.

        My current one works fine, but the lid on the reservoir doesn't seal because the previous owner ruined one of the bolts.

        I don't mind rebuilding the cylinder if the reservoir is in great shape.

        I'm trying to find one cheaper than new, right now.

              replied to PMs. Didn't realize I was getting PMs, I hadn't turned notification emails on yet.
