I will be installing a 23mm MC to feed the bigger brakes on the new car. I have heard that their are plumbing issues, and clearance issues when installing the bigger MC.
I'm looking for feedback from those that have done this. Here is a comparison of the new and old MC. I have some questions. 1) Ports 3 and 4 are the front and rear output ports. These correspond (location-wise) to ports 1 and two on the new MC. It seems that I can just transfer the hardware and lines over without any issues. Correct? 2) The locations of the feed lines are different between new and old. Is this going to be a clearance issue? 3) The hydraulic pressure switch (located between ports 3 and 4) does not have a corresponding location on the NEW MC. But there is another output port on the bottom of the MC (underneath port 1) that I can use? Any clearance issus here? 4) Does anyone know what the bolt on the top of the NEW MC is for? (between the red caps)... If I remove it, will a genie come out and grant me 3 wishes? These would be easier to answer if my car body were in the same location as my parts. (hopefully in a couple of weeks!) Thanks! Attached image(s) |

QUOTE(kellzey @ Feb 1 2004, 05:22 PM) Hmmmm.... I think I found an ATE 20.64mm Master Cylinder. Part number 03.2120-8411.3 I found it here... http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/...e_hb5_de_en.pdf Page 14.... Tandem Master Cylinders. i went to that site and didn't see any 20,64mm MC's -- but i didn't see any 23's either... and here's an interesting note - earlier in this thread, when being faced with the difficulties some have been facing during installation, i had to speculate that perhaps we weren't being sold the same MC i used 25 years ago. my new one came in a couple of days ago, from Dart Auto (after being jerked around a bit and facing a 25% (!) price increase over their published price by SmartRacingProducts...) sure enough - as you can see - the 'new' MC is not very close to what i used last - it is a MIRROR IMAGE to the part i bought at the Mercedes dealer all those years ago ... that's gonna require some hardline changes, i bet, and what else i won't know until i get the car up and the access panel off ...
