Sam's Broken her car...

Post by ClaytonSpeed » Mon Oct 08, 2007 9:57 pm

The master cylinder has burst on JBL. I've got two boxes of brand new Lockheed master cylinders but no Girling ones ( the one it currently is). Can I fit the Lockheed? Or has anyone got one spare? I don't mind rebuilding this one if I can get a seal kit.

Muchos appreciated!

Oh dear Sam, you could fit the Lockheed one if you changed the Servo as well Ben :wink: , but it might just fit anyway if you are lucky :wink:

I didn't break anything :( I think she was just tired and wanted a rest.... or Ben wants the house to himself and was trying to kill me off! :shock:

Rev counter works when you break which is strange and occasionally will madly flail about and then go back to doing nothing much. After the radio saga I didn't really feel up to taking the dash apart more.

Hi Sam, Is yours a single line master cylinder? if so, I have a brand new replacement one for the girling system. it's not an original Girling item but a Moprod one, so it does look a bit different. I bought it to keep as a spare for my TC which has lockheed brakes as I thought it may fit. I'd be happy to do a swap for a lockheed type if you like
