Hi Just wondering what the difference between the 2 was? ie can you buy a set of 2 "clutch master cylinders" and run the brakes with one?
thanks,

You need a brake master cylinder for the brakes & a clutch master cylinder for the clutch, if you mix them around neither will work.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

the brake one has a different innards.

The brake cyl has a slow return valve fitted inside, & you can fit that into a clutch cyl , then it will be a big diameter brake cyl, pedal will be harder & higher than normal & more pressure will need to be applied to the pedal for it to be as effective as the smaller (std) brake cyl.

the brake cyl is normally a .7" item

the clutch is best as a .75" diam
