Dave F Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Well after my braking issues last week I ordered a master cylinder overhaul kit (92 pounds before discount). Stripped down the above mentioned item to fit the new seals etc and compared the old with the new. I was expecting to see a lot of worn down rubber, as the resevoir was a very dirty black colour, but could'nt see much in the way of wear, what do you guys think? (The old ones are at the top with the tape around them). Also there seemed to be a bolt missing above the piston stop bolt on the cylinder bodywhen I removed it, and the kit contained two new bolts. Is the other one for the empty hole? Any help or sarcastic comments welcome. Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 dave with the naked eye the new ones certainly seem to have far better defined edges and where the rubber bits extend beyond the solid bits they seem to do so further, ie visibly have a larger diameter? I suspect the tolerances are quite tight so small hard to see wear has a big effect? Good luck with getting it sorted for the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thats what I was hoping mate I think I was expecting broken down rubber everywhere. Don't suppose you can answer the missing bolt question fella (only if you're near your car fella.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinnBa Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 The missing bolt holds a bracket that secures the throttle cable, well it does on my TT anyway - looks like it's different on the N/A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dini_the_owl Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 the missing bolt is so you can bleed your res when you have completly removed all the fluid, air can sometimes get trapped in there, i have noticed some supras do not have them so if you havent got one and it dosent leak dont worry.
