Brake master cylinder with same bore and pushrod interchange


colorobo2002

Recommended Posts

I'm looking at replacing my tii brake master cylinder and after searching I can't find a definitive answer as to what is the difference between this and other model cylinders of the same bore size: 23mm and pushrod of 1.92". the only difference I can see is the brass valve to adjust the flow to the rear brake line.

The 2800 and e12 appear to have the same bore and pushrod depth.

I would like to find a cheaper (but the same part) where i can just screw in my brass valve. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rob

what's wrong with using a 2002 Original master cylinder?

what brake issue are you repairing ?

Did big BBK conversion with stainless steel lines all around and tii MC.

volvo calipers/320 hubs/rotors, 320 rear drums.

After sitting for several years, rear cylinders were leaking, brakes were soft and car pulled to right. I replaced rear cylinders and bled system and brakes are still soft car still pulled to the right. When removed from hub, left caliper pistons move freely, bled the heck out of the system and car still pulls to the right. So i'm left thinking the MC is bad and haven't seen any definite answers on MC differences. So want to figure that out before I have to order a new one.

This is not a bias or flow valve. it is a pre-pressure valve. It holds the brake fluid from retracting the rear pads completely to the adjusting pins. While the distance is negligable it is certainly a different timing without the pre-pressure valve in place. Wilwood makes an in-line valve. Other model MC's that can be used for pushrod length and booster mounting don't have the same thread bore and pitch to use the pre-pressure valve. The cost of using a non 2002 MC and adding an in-line valve as well as buying the correct diameter gromets for the resevoir elbows, is close to using a 2002 MC or rebuild kit.

I have seen threads on this topic that start to talk about mathematical displacement of fluid in the Girling calipers and e21 rear cylinders and which MC to use, but if your going by feel, the stock MC may seem more "natural"

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
