Sandy455 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I special ordered a remanufactured 15/16 without the plastic reservoirs through Pep Boys for under $50. If you give them your old core, you get a $10 refund. Now installed in my 240Z with Toyota 4X4 calipers up front, Silvermine rear kit, vented rotors all around. Works AWESOME!

stony Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 part number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy455 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 It's part # M51837. But you don't need the part # because they can look it at the parts counter via the car model/year. I could only order it in the store, pre-paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 How long did it take to receive the master cylinder after you ordered it? Any idea what remanufacturing company supplied the MC to Pep Boys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy455 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) It took about a week for it to show up at the store. The label on the box says, "Fenco." http://www.partcat.com/fenco/index.php?refresh=1 Edited April 25, 2012 by Sandy455 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srgunz Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Never ever had any luck with rebuilt M/Clyinders. Its all new for me now. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLOZ UP Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I've had trouble with some rebuilt parts, but most part stores have a "lifetime" warranty of somesort. My experience has been it either fails within the first 10 minutes, or just keeps working like an OE unit. A pain if it does fail but the replacement is free.

Last weekend at the Willow Springs big track, I ran remanufactured Toyota front calipers with my reman' Pep Boys master cylinder and new Ford Mustang calipers in the rear (the Silvermine kit) which all worked perfectly. But a new exhaust manifold gasket delaminated. It's all a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
