new master cylinder reservoir

Too many people duplicate work that others already have done ... if you're having something remade then tell us about it! Success and Disasters, they are all useful to know about!

new master cylinder reservoir

Postby navydiver » 02 May 2016 21:53

Does anyone know if you can buy these? I have 5 perfectly serviceable master cylinders in need of a new reservoir. Can't find them listed anywhere but I guess AP Girling still make them for the refurbished ones that seem to come up on Ebay. If they aren't available could be a good part to have remanufactured.

When I fitted an uprated servo/master cylinder from S&S some 5-6 years ago (think it was a Sherpa unit, bought after problems with a recon cylinder) it came without a reservoir, I assumed because the TR7 one is wedge shaped. The TR7 one slotted in OK. Might be worth trying S&S or Robsport for a secondhand one. James Paddock show a new Lucas TRW mastercylinder complete with reservoir but not the reservoir alone. Might also be worth calling TRW?

I came across this picture which I think is an MGB that appears to be using a TR7 reservoir so it might pay to look around.
