Yeah it was about 14 years ago, today you can get a large cap master cylinder for about $250-$300 depending who's selling it. Most folks try to get their old ones rebuilt at places like apple hydraulics or use a rebuild kit if the bore is not to pitted. -Steve

: At that price, you can fit a brand new

: have brake bias adjustment as well.
: Plus, the Master Cylinders are then

: Hey Tim, you can use the later Master
: Cylinder (76-80) on say an earlier 1500
: model. Several years ago a friend of
: mine did that swap on a '74 model and I
: am planning to do the same to my '74
: spit. I remember he had to make a
: little more space for the rear of the
: later master cylinder as it was a tad
: bit longer than the early "large
: cap version". He just made the
: recessed area behind the cylinder on
: the firewall a little deeper by making
: a small notch with a hammer and a
: punch, maybe 1/4" at best. Other
: than that it seemed like a straight
: swap. At the time my buddy did his car
: you couldn't get that "large cap
: master cylinder" (70-75) for less
: than $500.00! Another good point about
: the later model is that it is cheaper
: and the cap is so much easier to
: remove!

: OK, Is this a stupid question? Why
: can't
: you use a 1976 to 1980 brake master
: cylinder instead of the expensive 1970
: to 1975 model? What is the difference?
: I don't understand.
