Master Cylinder Sizes

[Mando]

Thanks for the explanation Mike and thanks for the offer of the master cylinder, things seem a lot clearer now. I had a 5/8" cylinder but used on the clutch by mistake. If I hadnt cut the shaft down Id swap them over.

Regards.

You can swap the shafts over pretty easy. Pop the rubber boot off the back and pop out the circlip in there. The shaft will come right out as it's usually held in by a washer under the circlip.

The end of the shaft is located by the same circlip that keeps the piston in place and this can be under spring pressure. Probably best to do it on the bench so it doesn't pop appart and leak brake fluid on your paint.

Cheers
