Tuscan brake master cylinder, whats it from??

[tuscan_al]

I have just removed my pedal box to change the BMC.

Looked and thought it was a feista one??

Its is this

any ideas on what its from, its £140 from Racing green!!!

I think the clutch slave is a fiesta one, but the brake master may be AP, I've not heard of one being changed before now. Does it have any markings on it?

[tuscan_al]

Not that I can see, on the BMC. Have bled the brakes lots and peadal still took few pumps to get any pressure so pretty sure seals are gone....

It is a ford resoviour for sure. Multipart are supplying racing green so not sure if it would be an AP item??/

[Steve_T]

Am only thinking that since the car has AP calipers the master might be AP too. Do you see fluid weeping from the master?

[tuscan_al]

yes its weaping down the servo and has peeled the paint off it!

[Steve_T]

Can you get a seal kit for it? Might save quite a bit over replacing the entire unit.

Hi Alex,
Why not take it down to your local Ford dealers and ask them?

it was made by Lucas originally,who supplied it to Ford,hence the branding on the resevoir.

Hi, yes have been having a nightmare lately with them! Just been driving around all the breakers yards trying to find an early mk3 feista, they all have the later longer BMC on them. Mine has ATE written on the end of the BMC too so I though this might be the make??

Many thanks TVR Supplies I will email you now

Regards

its off a ford KA

[tuscan_al]

I looked at a KA in the scrap yeard, very similar. But its only got a 20.6 mm bore not 22.2 mm.

I have had a kind offer from a very decent chap from http://www.tvrsupplies.co.uk/shop/page/about?shop_...
and should be sourcing myself a new one.
