Thread: 86" brake master cylinders

I've managed to source some SWB brake master cylinders from India.
It's taken a long time to get sorted out (over 9 months) and it wouldn't have happened without the help of an Indian colleague who sources equipment from India.

I've yet to check the quality, they only arrived today. My father-in-law worked in the brake industry and will be giving them the once over this weekend.

What I'm looking for is someone who will put one on a vehicle immediately (not buy it & hoard it) to do some field testing before I order any more. Price has not been confirmed but the freight was relatively expensive on just two master cylinders.

I do of course have the option of putting it on my own Series I but the one currently fitted is working perfectly OK. Plus I sourced the exact same Indian master cylinder some time back from Ebay (out of Germany), cost for that one was $180 landed.

So, anyone with a SWB who can get it on trial fairly quickly ??

Once they have been tested I'll order some more.

Update......
Turns out that the supplier doesn't make a LWB master cylinder so instead I've received a Series III dual circuit master cylinder !

Anyway, some pictures of the SWB master cylinder.

I've already received a PM about 'Indian parts quality'. Fair comment, but most of the noname aftermarket wheel cylinders & master cylinders are made in India and I personally haven't had any issues with them.

Anyone interested....let me know otherwise they go into 'stock' and I'll use them at some point in the future.
