260Z master cylinder cap seals

Anyone know where to get these? I'd like to buy just the seals, if they're available. Thanks.

Sorry. I checked MSA and Rock Auto and nothing was listed either place.

I'm guessing what I need is pictured as "Filters" in that diagram? Both of mine are apparently missing the entire lower portion and are only 2 little rubber rings. I had no idea they were supposed to look like that.

No, the filter is separate from the cap and just sits in the opening beneath the cap. I doubt the cap seals are available separately. At least I never saw anything like that, even when I did brakes for a living.

Without pictures, your guess is better than mine.

Also, note that not all 260Z master cylinder caps are the same. Caps for a Tokico cylinder may not fit a Nabco cylinder, for example.

Mine are Tokico and do not have the filters in them.

No filters on my Tokico. My front seal looks good and there is even fluid still in the resivor. The rear seal which appears to have been pretty thick melted into the resivor. I have got most of the gunk out. My master cylinder is toast as evidenced by the fluid that has leaked onto the booster. Luckily it has not ruined the inner fender sheet metal. Just happened to looking at this stuff tonight.

My Nabco Clutch M/C has dried up fluid - Its crumbly!

As I understand the situation so far - new units do not come with reservoirs/caps. Mebbe I am wrong and they are available at extra cost. I am hoping that someone reads this thread and can help out with a source for the seals!

I bought a new early (70-71) master cylinder from Nissan a few years back, it DID come with reservoirs and caps. I believe that some aftermarket cylinders also come with these parts, but not all. Worth shopping around a bit.
