Have I got the right part? Brake Master...

[murphster]

Just gone to fit my brake master on to my new servo but there is a difference between the old and new master cylinders:



Have I got the correct one because I can see that it wont make a seal? The ridge on the master cylinder is where the rubber 'o' ring is on the servo. (I did purchase this from a very well known TVR Parts supplier)

Not an answer to your question, but where did you get your servo from?

Post up a close-up picture of the opening on the new servo and I will explain

The seal is internal and those voids do not affect this if you remove the cylinder from the servo and look into the opening there should be a rubber seal that the Master Cylinder collar butts up to and this creates the vacuum tight seal

Phew - thanks for your help. I better get on with it...

By far the cheapest place to get it from is Hans in Holland Who advertises on PH:

So much cheaper than dealers but I did end up waiting a long time to get hold of it. (he actually dropped it off at my door on Wednesday - nice guy!)

I've got to order a servo and master cylinder this week :-(

Where did you get your parts from? I believe the cylinder is XR2i non abs, but Im not sure about the servo.

He also does master cylinders! (I had already got my master cylinder by the time I contacted Hans but again he is cheapest!)
