Master cylinder swapping


Recommended Posts

I tried to bleed the brakes the other day but looks like the master is bad. So, I went to pick in pull to grab another master. After I came home

and inspected it I noticed that the front/rear are

opposite from mine. i have a 70 and this was from

a 71. Upon inspection, They cylinders look the

same but the front has a larger fluid capacity.

Can I just swap the canisters so that I have the

larger one to the front brakes like the original?

z ya - Sorry, but you can't just switch the cylinders (Reservoirs) because the master cylinder design is slightly different. I ran into that with my car too.

 

However, the good news is, that you can switch the lines. With very little effort you can carefully rebend the lines so you can reverse which end of the master cylinder they go into.
