ok i don't have much faith in the single system brake master cylinder in my ke20, so what dual circuits master cylinder pretty much bolt up to it?

 

I'm trying to keep the car orignal so wont be added a booster, just using stock 20 brakes too

 

did some searching and found that a gallant mc is a good replacement but couldnt find which model or part numbers

 

so any more info would be great

 

cheers andrew

what you need to do is have a look in a brake parts catalog (make friends with your local brake and clutch shop) and find something the same size bore, twin circuit, with the same size mounting flange.... shouldn't be that hard..... but knowing cars like I know cars, it probably will be!

 

Robert.

I have a brand new Mazda 323 11/16 twin master that I got to fit my 25, but it got in the way of the Webers. :) The spacing is stud spacing is right (60mm from memory) and the sleeve hole should be right as well. I ahppy to give it to you for the price it owes me (trade minus "rally" discount....). I'll see if i can find what I paid for it......

 

Others are early meteor, and the one that I currently have, early Gallant (available in various bore sizes, but not cheap....)

 

Toymods has a good write up on this somewhere as well.

 

Cheers

Yeah i have the laser/323 one in mine , fits a treat , come to think of it i think the laser/323 ones are 13/16 bore , well my one is anyways

hey i have part numbers and specs for the 3 most suitable masters, as redwarf and lindsay said

the early mazda laser and galant masters are the best match for twin circuit and the nissan vanette

for single circuit.

 

also galant comes in approx 4 types, ie different bore sizes and boosted / non boosted.

 

will post up in the next few days hopefully as last i remember the pbr online catalogue is very useful but

doesnt work properly, you have to do some trickery to get the part listings off it so i saved them last time i looked.

 

theres a few aspects ie mounting flange, bore size, stroke, dimensions - length / reservior size being important

with twin carbs and the outlet position although you can use banjo fittings to change the plane the outlet comes out at.

ok part numbers would be a great help, i had a spare master cylinder with car its a twin system one but it is leaking though the pushrod

 

would it be better off getting that rebuilt or buying a new one?

 

cheers

ok sussed it, go here...

 

pbr catalogues

 

now choose make and model and model code and wait for it to refresh,

 

for mozilla firefox left click in the bottom half in the window mentioned above and

then hold down centre mouse button and move mouse downwards to scroll down.

 

for internet explorer left click in the bottom half of the window mentioned above and

then hold down left click while dragging mouse downwards to scroll down.

 

strange but true...

 

peace out

when I purchased my brake upgrade from hoppers stoppers i got them to supply a master cylinder to suit. they gave me a universal one that fits straight up. i'm led to believe its a 1inch master cylinder. its dual circuit and has individual reservoirs for each circuit. i don't know the part number but you could ring them and find out. its a bit longer than a standard cylinder and slightly taller due to the reseviours but it fits nicely and squeezes in next to my ca18. anyway just thought i'd let you know that they are out there and you should be able to find one to suit your needs

well i ended up going down to my local parts store and going though the books

 

ended up with a datsun mc, it was for a booster so i added my stock pushrod to it and it was all good

 

here is some pics

 

bolts in all good

 

can get the parts numbers if anyone is keen

I'm pretty sure thats a Dato 240k one , nice work mate

hey would this fit? looking to do the same thing

Looks like it would do the job , but it's in england and you can get them from here :http://www.datsport.com/Tandem_master_cylinder.html

 

or another alternative is a Sigma master cylinder , not sure which model possibly GH i think , but i have two of them that i did'nt end up using a lil bit to big and chunky for my application , one is brand new if anybody is intersted in it for cheap PM me

Don't you love it when you look in a parts catalogue and KE20 and earlier no longer exists......

datsun 180B MC looks the same. i might have one lying round actually
