Spotter Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I've just got round to fitting a pattern part dual line brake master cylinder (part no 569671) bought from Paddocks in July only to find it leaking badly. I just spoke to Paddock & they said there is a known problem with this part. They obviously don't feel it warrants a recall or even any action to warn customers of the problem so I thought I should post this in case anyone else has bought one of these recently. Obviously my experience is only with the part bought from Paddock, but there is a chance that other dealers might be selling these parts from the same source.

tuko Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 "there is a chance that other dealers might be selling these parts from the same source." Thanks for the warning, safety is paramount, when replacing parts on our vehicles. Can you tell us the name of the manufacture or the name that was on the carton, that the master cylinder came in. They knew of the parts failure and didn't do anything about it, sad!! The only thing that concerns them, is the money. tiddle poor business practice, any wonder I don't deal with them anymore. Todd.

MarkieB Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 as they say, 'you get what you pay for'; with low prices, there's not many staff to cover those kinds of tasks; equally pattern parts are it seems quite frequently inferior. definitely worrying though, I suppose that's part of the reason discussion fora have got such a key rôle.

minivin Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Ok, no reply in the Series forum, so I'll try here Would that be the metric or the imperial threaded item (cotter pin or screw retention of the reservoir)?Can't find my receipt at this moment in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Ok, no reply in the Series forum, so I'll try here The metric ones have the roll pins holding the resevoir, the imperial ones have the two screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02GF74 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 where is it leaking from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotter Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 It's the one with the reservoir held on by screws. It's leaking from the forward reservoir mounting. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
