January 7, 200322 yr comment_22371 Give an e-mail to Andy Russell at z@datsundude.comHe has them for 135 bucks for the 70-71 models and they include new reservoirs, caps, screens clamps and the filter in the bottom.Most times when you buy a rebuilt master you only get the bare master, which means you need to re-use the old reservoirs etc...His prices are right in line with everyone else, doubt you will find one any cheaper for the early cars.I just got one from him, and it's the first time I've had a set of brand new reservoirs with the original style metal caps in a long time...:classic:BTW, if you do get one from him, be sure to let him know that you got your info in our site. Just mention 71Zcarr, that's the username he knows me by from my Ebay purchases..not that he will give you a discount, but if we can send enough business his way, who knows?

That IS a good price for a "complete" B/M Cyl. I've done business with Andy also and he is a straight up guy. He won't screw you.

January 7, 200322 yr comment_22375 Andy has a lot of new parts, so make sure you ask him for a price list. FWIW, I recently purchased a new "Euro" front bumper from him. Before he shipped it, he took it out of the box and checked it over and found a few small scratches on it. He e-mailed me and told me he was sending it back and getting me another one. Not many people would take the time to do that, most would blame the damage on the shipper and leave it at that!Andy will be getting a lot of my business from now on.BTW, in MSA's new catalog, they want 142.95 for the same master cylinder, and then they want 5.10 for the cap!

January 7, 200322 yr Author comment_22419 What is the current thought on using the $35 rebuilding kits? I used one on my Spitfire and it sucked big-time.My core looks decent.

January 7, 200322 yr comment_22422 IF you can get the pistons out with no trouble, rebuilding it with a kit is possible. One of the members tried it (hmsports) and could not get the piston removed and gave up and used a lter master and swapped the lines. There are actualy two pistons in the master and the main piston could be the problem...... Give it a shot, and if it won't come out, at least you know where to get a new master at a good price:classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/4143-70-71-brake-master-cyl-needed/#findComment-22422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
