anrw Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hello I'm rebuilding my vehicle (part Range Rover Classic part Discovery) and I want to replace the brake master cylinder. It is a non ABS single circuit system with two outlets only on the master cylinder. The one I ordered was a dual circuit master cylinder with 4 outlets although the fitting bolts and servo end were the same as mine. Any ideas about a part number? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 are the mounting studs on the servo horizontal on the servo or offset ? that'll determine which master cylinder you use, as the won't fit both servo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anrw Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 The mounting studs are offset - that is when the master cylinder is sitting in its correct position one mounting stud is to the top left of the barrel and the other is bottom right. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 sounds like you need a 300tdi defender master cylinder like this one http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/101529/0/master_cylinder_90_110_ha107____901 this has 3 connections 1 to front left caliper 1 to front right caliper 1 to both rear calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anrw Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Ralph Thanks for your help but the cylinder you recommend has three outlets not two. Any further ideas? Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 this one STC1285 for discovery 1 models has 2 ports as far as I can tell, with offset bolt holes http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/210223/0/brake_master_cyl_not_abs_dis_ma081_ this one for RRC up to 1994 looks to have 2 ports as well http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/88903/0/brake_master_cyl_rr_disco__la081991 maybe one of those would do the job, 1 connection for front brakes 1 connection for rear brakes I don't know of a single line master ctlinder that would fit, in UK/Euro vehicle brakes must be fail safe -- vehicle must be able to stop if one part of the circuit fails, a single line system doesn't comply.
