Need help finding a brake Master Cylinder for 79

[garretthes]

I have been looking for weeks for a re-manufactured master cylinder or repair kit for my daughter's 79. They are back ordered EVERYWHERE. Not interested in a junk yard part because they don't last sitting idle. Not worth the risk. No luck on Ebay either.

If anyone has an idea I would love to hear it. I have posted in the parts wanted sections of several forums.

We have an 83 parts car but the MC is different.

I just went through the same thing for my 76 280Z. Autoparts Warehouse say they have one and they will take your money but they do not have it in stock. I found one on Ebay from Centric Parts. It is part #160.88031. They said it was a new aftermarket part but it was clearly a refurbished unit. I didn't raise a stink about it because I was thrilled to find anything! I have just got it mounted but haven't tested it yet. Good luck with the search.

Did you try Rockauto? They had three different suppliers for the Master Cylinder listed.

I tried Rockauto. I ended up using the 83 master cylinder and booster from the parts car. The mc still needs replacing and I was a le to get one from OReilleys.
