Chevronrod Posted October 13, 2024 Posted October 13, 2024 Rear wheel cylinders and master cylinders also need doung. Are they similar to yours and do you know what they are? Quote
Chevronrod Posted October 14, 2024 Posted October 14, 2024 Rear wheel cylinders sorted. Master cylinder is a mystery. Even local brakes repairer spent 20 minutes trying to identify but with no luck. Quote
locost_bryan Posted October 14, 2024 Posted October 14, 2024 Master cylinder looks a lot like this? Classic Mini Dual Line Brake Master Cylinder AP Lockheed. (pre servo) GMC227 - GMC227 (classiccarparts.co.nz) Quote
BlownCorona Posted October 14, 2024 Author Posted October 14, 2024 My rear diff had aparently been changed from the factory viva diff to a large torana diff, I bought wheel bearings and slave cylinders to suit torana and the fit correctly, but I can't confirm that they are original. Also I'm all but certain that these chevrons are not the same company as the British chevron sports cars. I think it's just a coincidence. 1 Quote
locost_bryan Posted October 14, 2024 Posted October 14, 2024 Different company altogether. https://www.chevron.co.nz/ Quote
Chevronrod Posted October 14, 2024 Posted October 14, 2024 Thx heaps for uour info! Mine is single bore with 13/16 stamped on the side, so don'tthink it is mini, but will check it out. . If i can't find out what it is i may need to use a JB1526 and remake the master cylinder mounts. Quote
BlownCorona Posted October 14, 2024 Author Posted October 14, 2024 im very sure that you'll be able to find a suitable drop in replacement. a specialist brake shop should be able to help you with a catalouge, i did this with my '71 corona and matched up a datsun master that had dual circuits and an appropriate bore size for running no booster. If you end up remaking the mounts you could consider going with dual cylinders and a bias bar, i would quite like that on mine. my car only has a single circuit master cylinder so an upgrade to dual circuit is very much on the cards for me. Edit, i just saw you mentioned your locan brake guy had no luck, still, i would encourage you to browse catalogs for options 1 Quote
locost_bryan Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 Could be worth browsing through the Girling online catalogue. FYI 13/16" are listed as 20.6mm. 4001142 and 4001143 look very similar, although they are listed for a Daewoo Matiz. G910D Girling Hydraulics 2015 (girlingauto.com) 1 Quote

I wentbto my brake guys again, and i think i can make a 3/4" master cylinder he has fit. Bit of modding, but should be fine. 2 Quote

Chevronrod Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 Not a mouse pad, more of a non-slip surface for a phone maybe. 1 Quote
