So I'm laying on my back in the driveway, doing a bit of daydreaming and figuring out some oil cooler line issues. In a few weeks I plan on upgrading to a 19mm MC (thanks again Alberto!), BMW brakes, etc.
As I look at the MC that is in the car I see a large embossed "18" on the body of the cylinder. Truthfully, I always thought I knew my car well, but I just never had need to look at the master cylinder that closely before. So a stock master cylinder is a 17mm. Are they embossed with a "17" like I think they must be? I've never crawled that far under someone else's car to check.
I did a bit if searching on Pelican and a couple of other places and I can find no reference to an 18mm MC. Now, the PO was a notorious parts scavenger, so I'm thinking he may have come across an Audi or Fiat or who knows what that that could bolt right up.
Weird.
Anyone else heard of this? Am I on crack?
Many TIA!
