Title: master cylinder
Post by: Phantom on January 14, 2004, 09:39:42 AM
G'day all,
                Is there any difference between a FC master cylinder and a HR master cylinder? and if there is how do you tell the difference?
                                            Cheers Rusty

Rusty FC master cylinder has a metal cannister, but these are getting hard to get.  If your car has plastic master cylinder reservoirs then they are HR items.
The bore size and internals are all the same.

Except of course if you have drum brakes and the HR has discs, then the drum brake unit has a residual pressure valve fitted,disc unit does not. If both drum not a drama.
