Title: 22mm master cylinder
Post by: dub-disaster on October 01, 2010, 06:29:01 AM
Doing my brake upgrade with 256mm set up and 22mm master cylinder, problem is I bought the master cylinder brand unused but from a bloke on club polo. But when looking at it next to my old one it looks identical evan down to the part numbers on the side are the same although they look to be different brands.
   Is there any thing obvious I can look for to confirm it's a 22mm one ??

My old one had 4 outlets with one blanked of by a bolt does that mean it was probably a 22.2 mm job ? Do the standard ones only have 3 connections then and not just 4 connections with one blanked of ?

For this conversion, is it simply a remove the 19mm and replace with the 22.2mm? Other than the blanking plug, nothing else?

Yup, original reservoir fits with a little 'gentle' push.
