Replaced the OE 17mm that came on my 74 because it was leaking out of the rear. Replaced it with the 19mm that is currently offered as a replacement.
Not happy with the increased pedal pressure required to stop the car, almost scary in a panic situation. No pedal modulation. I would like to return to a 17mm unit but there seems to be no more out there, does anyone have a source? Is someone in the parts supply chain able to reproduce these parts reasonably? Thanks! |

We have at least two failed 17mm master cylinders/cores and 1 NOS 17mm one (for our '72 project).
Agree that it would be best if a rebuild kit could be offered by one of our sympathetic vendors. Because there is a difference between the 17mm and 19mm and other sizes. And we do prefer 17mm on a stock 914. Don't know if it's possible, but type 1, early ghias, etc. used 17mm master cylinders and they are available still. Maybe a rebuild kit could be sourced from a parts from one of these? (Haven't really done any research yet) |

Dont know why the 19mm rebuild kits are readily available but the 17 mm kit evaporated Attached image(s)
