Master cylinder conversion follow ups

[ezuskin]

Back to beginning. I ordered from that company in Canada yesterday and this morning they issued a refund with no explanation, guess they were sold out

Bummer! Did you try classicgarage.com?

This week 'stotlaat' posted to the Yahoo group that he had a Datsun MC that he will not be using. Might email him and ask if he'd be willing to part with it?

Went online tonite and pulled up a Centric brand part # 130.42202 that brought up available items from Autoplicity($107.95), Summit Racing(10/30 for $149). We'll see if order goes through

You just wouldn't think you would have trouble finding a part for a Nissan sedan!

Given how difficult the search is becoming, I think I'd try to find a rebuild kit as well. Stored properly it will last for years and even if you never use it, it's good insurance.

Rebuild would be kind of ok but would not improve my situation. I have TC size master with no boosters that, although can lock up brakes at speed, have always felt like pushing my foot against a block of wood, no real sense of being able to modulate.

I have not yet driven a Europa with a .700" MC to know the feel  but I have gone down in MC bore on an older street bike to get better feel, It had a solid dead feel.  Has anyone tried smaller? Does the peddle become more firm and lack feel when going to the .750"  Wilwood makes a .625" MC with the ports on the right side but it would need a bracket fabbed up.

That's 2 companies that sold then refunded my money. The Autoplicity, $107.95, just notified of refund. Appears that the $149 sellers have stock and Summit Racing will ship end of month

If you don't get the F10 M/C, maybe this document on using a Tilton M/C will be useful (I got it from the yahoo group).

If you don't mind that it's still a single circuit MC, it will be a direct bolt on, just need to run/reroute brake lines. It may be cheap enough to at least get you on the road and a feel for the 0.70" MC. 

[ezuskin]

I'm on the road and i don't think it has been different for years. My mechanic that did alignment commented that if you held the pedal for a minute it started to sink. I have driven it a bit for a week and haven't experienced a problem but it will start to sink after holding it awhile

[Grumblebuns]

I wonder if it's worth the money putting in new seals, see if that solves your problem for awhile.

Hone out the bore before installing the new seals and be careful not to push the pistons all the way in when bleeding the brakes to prevent destroying the new seals in the possibly pitted section of the MC. Better yet, use a power bleeder.

If the cylinder is pitted, it needs replacing or sleeving.
