Tii Master Cylinder Upgrade

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, well my brakes were completely gone! took it to a brake place, and both the brake boosters on my 1969 were completely full of fluid! so i had them rebuilt!

1200 dollars later :( my brakes are FIRM like a race car! but the master cylinder is leaking into the interior carpet the last bit i need to fix!

i ordered a Ti brake master cylinder from ireland engineering as an upgrade and have recieved it today

probem is i want to install it and when i compare it to my standard master cylinder! this one has 1 too many holes in it!

the original master cylinder has only 4 holes, 2 for inlets 2 for outlets, the new Ti master cylinder has 5?!! what plugs into this 5th hole??

any help would be appreciated

I am guessing that if you have two brake boosters that you have a right hand drive car.

Pretty sure that ti's are lhd only so you have the wrong part.

Edit: actually not sure what you have. Title says tii.

LHD master is different to RHD master, look at a diagram for LHD (they have 1 booster) you may be able to block 1 outlet off you just have to find out which one .

Also LHD go straight onto the servo so the mounting lugs may be on the horizontal whereas RHD are a bit off vertical.It wont fit , order a RHD one from Jaymic.

Tim is right (I have just checked mine). The rhd master cylinder has the two pressure ports on top of the cylinder along with the low pressure ports from the reservoir.

The flange bolt holes are on a slant at approximately 45 degrees. It won't fit. Put it up for sale on this board and someone will take it (maybe not for what you paid).

Alternatively try contacting IE who might on an off chance take it back (though to be fair they don't have to - buyer beware)

If you want to upgrade a RHD you get a E12 master cyl.

Is that 'any' E12 or is it specific to RHD again?

Quite right,one less thing to do if he decides to go Volvo fronts at a later date.I suppose while your changing a leaking master why not change to a bigger one?It seems like 02 owners well we just can't stop at doing one thing, can we?

    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
