Parts for 1800s
Discussion
TFO, I have a Vixen Series one and if the Master cylenders are the same they appear to be from several mid sixties Ford/Triumph cars: eg Cortina and (early) TR6(?).
There are a lot of repros around on E-bay just now. If I remember correctly (Not at home!) the breaks are 0.7" Girling and the clutch is 5/8" Girling. The main difference appears to be the rod connecting the piston to the peddle, but I have seen new rods advertised as well.
If you are asking because your car is incomplete and missing master cylenders I can post a picture of what I have.

Thanks for that. I've got the cylinders but apparently there are a few internal differences?
Just wondered if you can get service kits, or possibly new items.
I have seen some rebuild kits come up on E-bay, and I am keeping an eye on what is available. I won't get that far for another 18 months probably, so I would be interested to know any wrinkles you find. I may have to replace or recon. both my master cylenders so it would be useful.Just wondered if you can get service kits, or possibly new items.
I have certainly seen reproduction master cylenders as well as suposed NOS items coming up, but so far I can only compare what they look like and what their I.D.s are.
