[DeTomaso] Fwd: rebuild kit for mystery master cylinder?

[MACHWIL at aol.com]

That sounds like a 69-70 Mustang master. Front brakes are out of rear  part 
of cylinder, rears are out of front. There is a residual pressure  valve in 
the front opening, as those Mustangs had drum brakes on the rear.  The r/p 
valve can be removed by screwing an sheet metal screw into the opening  and 
pulling it out. Easy to do,
This master cylinder requires an adapter on the power brake unit. It was an 
 early Hall purchase I originally made 20  or so years ago. It still is on  
6556 to this day, along with any number of cars I've adapted for friends  
Panteras.
 
The last time I checked, they were sold in almost any parts store for  
around $35.00.

Subj: [DeTomaso] rebuild kit for mystery master  cylinder?



I have decided to rebuild all my brake cylinders and  switch back to glycol 
brake fluid.

My master cylinder was changed by  the previous owner to one with the 
reservoirs moulded into the cast iron body  of the master. The reservoir for the 
front brakes is like 5X larger (longer)  than the one for the rear brakes.  

The top is moulded, raised,  sheet metal that is held in place by a spring 
steel bar that slides over  it.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?  I'm sure it was part of  an 
aftermarket kit in the late '70s or early '80s
I believe some Corvette  masters were used back then.

I need to find a rebuild kit for it.   Does it sound like a GM Corvette  
cylinder?

Jim
