Eric,
I installed mine yesterday. VERY nice product! I'll send you another pic when I can get better lighting. Attached image(s) ![]() |

William - THANKS for posting this topic. I installed my master cylinder yesterday And did not properly seat the lines in the grommets. I pushed the metal lines into the grommets as far as I could and assumed that was as far as they should go (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) . After seeing this post I knew that I did not have them inserted correctly.
Nothin like doing things over! I removed the master cylinder and started over. Tonight I followed Mark's steps.
I was able to get the metal lines inserted into the master cylinder easily on the bench. Then I fed the lines up through the 2 grommets that are located under where the gas tank goes. They fed in pretty easy just had to keep both of them moving. I fed the lines in until the front of the master cylinder hit the steering rack. Then I just compressed the bellows on the rear of the master cylinder and then the rear slid right through the opening. Be sure to get the brake rod aligned! ( I missed getting it aligned trying to do this myself (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Got help and this was easy the second time.) Here's how I hooked up the lines.

I did this no problem. The MC was bolted in too.
How far down do you have to push the lines in? Hopefully I did it right. |

I just compared the routing of the brake lines in Rob's pic and the routing that I did.
They do not match. Does it matter??? If I'm following the routing correctly, Rob's pics show the line from the front of the master cylinder reservoir connected to the rear connection on the master cylinder. My pics show that I connected the line from the front of the master cylinder reservoir to the front connection on the master cylinder. Will either routing work??? Or, do one of us need to .... |

Thanks for the continuing pictures. Kinda wondered about front to front and back to back thing too. Does it make a difference? Got lazy today and let it slide. Somedays you just want to do easy stuff - spent about an hour trimming the seal that goes across the inside of the top of the windshield. Here's a tip to everyone - save the old rubber - I had the old piece and the cuts on each end were quite complicated. Would have never shaped it right without the old piece.

Doug, I've been documenting the removal of all parts, so I installed them the way the came out, but I don't think it will make any difference if they are switched, remember, this is only a reservoir, not a proportioning valve, so you should be OK. |

Rob - I agree. I don't think that it will make any difference which is front or back, as long as the routing of the plastic/metal tube is fine. I took the cap off of the reservoir today, pulled the screen and took a look inside. The bottom of the reservoir is divided into two sections but I don't think that it will have any affect on the front/rear issue.
I took a look at my 72 parts car today to compare. It still has the gas tank in it so I couldn't see the complete routing. I recruited some help to check it out. I went under to look at the lines coming through to the master cylinder. My helper grabbed a line near the master cylinder and moved it around. We did one at a time. I was able to see the corresponding line wiggle on the bottom side. Turns out that my routing on the 73 matches what I found on the 72. |

There is a Tech Artical on the PP site, "Upgrading To A 19mm Master Cylinder". Pic #4 shows the lines inserted into the grommets. |
