Rebuild Kit for single reservoir Brake Master Cylinder

Post by L60Boerne »

Greetings, Any help rebuilding the brake master cylinder shown would be appreciated. Both my 63 and 65 have the same BMC.

The Corvette 65-66 rebuild kit referenced within the forum isn't similar in the least, unless we are missing something. 4WD Products in Australia sold me the dual reservoir as a replacement, which it is not, unless you want to replace the complete brake system with one far more complicated. If anyone wants to buy it or trade something for it, it is available.

I wan't able to find either a rebuild kit not a new single reservoir BMC.

I ended up taking it to the local brake shop who were able to recondition it for me for $200 AUD.
Not sure if I will get there.
Not sure if I will get back.
But I usually do!!!
So, I just bought this Patrol….

David-

If you insist on keeping the Tokiko MC housing, you could search for a rebuild kit for this forklift MC:

Part number 46010-L6000, or MC-01084

The rebuild kit for the MC above SHOULD be compatible with your original Tokiko MC- You would need to hone your Tokiko housing really well...

Or, you could just buy the forklift MC, and enlarge the mounting holes to fit your Patrol's firewall bolts, swap the reservoir (or add a remote reservoir to your Patrol) and make the minor plunger rod modification, and you would have a 100% brand new MC on your Patrol...

I posted more about this forklift MC here: http://60patrol.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... 491#p29491

Rob, What great advice! As we get into this next week we will probably go with the newer replacement and enlarge the bolt holes. I have no preference for staying with technology that can't be readily fixed and the newer MC makes total sense.
Thanks again,
David

Man...I'm ready to get these going. That BAM Auto sub contractor really fouled up that fully operational Patrol..but good.

The rebuild kits i sent you are for the 60s corvette with manual brakes. I rebuilt a few master cylinders with these kits and have had no problems. The only thing is you need to use your original piston. :D
