Give me a brake

[Postie Bob]

Have just about got my master cylinder drama sorted out but my replacement cyl has a sloping reservoir and my original has a round one .
Is the booster the same for both types of  cylinders or do I need a matching one?
I need to rotate the booster 90* for the sloping cyl to fit my booster but how about the pushrod length, etc ? is that a prob?
Cheers , Bob.

i think there are a few posts in the arkives regarding this, do a search or maybe someone could bump the info up to the top?

Have you checked weather the bonnet will close with that reservoir just saying

It's sweet Reid, Bob's got my old Bedford master cylinder, no probs for fit. I'd say the later ones must
have had a horizontal mounting (flange) and the earlier ones were vertical.
As Bob said, rotating the booster is the only solution.

you definatley want the sloping master as opposed to the round one, reason is the pistons in the round one are linked by a crappy wire that often breaks, resulting in a trip to the resleever. These were only used on beddys for a couple of years, and also were used on triumph cars. Boosters were the same just rotated so far as I'm aware.

jeff .... what year or years had the round master with only one outlet ?

[cfjeff]

The round with only one outlet were the early ones, 70,to 72/73 I think. Round dual outlet ran from 75 to somewhere in 77, from there on were the lockheed triangle ones. These are the ones you want according to the resleeve guys I use here in christchurch.
