Calling for a 17mm Master Cylinder, Don't like the 19mm!! Options

[Artfrombama]

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!

17mm rebuild kits are a thing of the past. Im surprised 19mm still exists. I’m guessing liability issues. Where the type 1’s and early Ghia’s single or dual circuit? I know early 912’s had a single circuit 17mm MC but they are no longer available. I’m using a dual circuit 19mm on my ‘67. I recently had the front brakes go on my dually pick up. Rear brakes got me stopped just in time. I will never use a single circuit MC.
