2002tii master brake cylinder rebuild kits?

[schuetz1619]

Has anyone recntly sourced reasonably priced rebuild kits for the tii master cylinder? The lowest I find is $280. 

 

Is there possibly something for another car that contains the same seals?

 

Two years ago I got a tii master cylinder (FAG) for $200. Now they're north of $900. Whew.

Why not use a M/C from an E12    530I  ?

 

Thanks, Rick

Thnaks. That's what I found by way of a new cylinder: 34-31-1-120-832.  I'd sure like to find rebuild kits, though. My cylinder is rust free--just needs new seals.

While you are reconditioning the cylinder, check to be sure the leak-off hole is open.  It bleeds seepage from the inner seal so the fluid doesn't migrate into the booster.

If you just need seals, WN has a seal rebuild kit for $30

Thank you. I'm not sure how I missed this but I did.

I understand that brake master cylinder 34-31-1-120-832, from some E12 6-cylinder cars, is interchangeable with the unit speicified by BMW for the 2002tii:  34 31 1 120 47. Both are 23.81 mm. bore.

 

But are the guts interchangeable? Will a seal repair kit for one fit the other? Anyone know?

 

Thanks.
