Since I filled up the pedal box and most of the tunnel with brake fluid, looks like time for a new master cylinder.
I see 914 Rubber has two for sale. One they claim is "easy install". Has anyone tried this one? Are they a good source for master cylinders? I guess the question is how much of pain is it to install the "regular" cylinder. Have owned 4 914's in my lifetime. First time for this piece of work. Would appreciate any comments. Thanks EJP914 |

There are some threads for installing the feed lines on the regular style MCs. I used a tip on one of them to use a brake flare wrench (can't remember which size to pull the grommets down into the mc. It was actually quite easy with that little nugget of info. I recommend buying a set of OEM ATE grommets though. The grommets that came with the mc both leaked very slowly. I'm not sure there was anything really wrong with them but the ATE grommets felt stiffer and also gave a more satisfying feel as they seated properly in the bores.
