Contemporary Brake Mst Cylinder ID?
 
I have an older Contemporary cobra ( CCX 3-3408) with a leaking master cylinder resevoir (sp?). It is a one piece cast unit consisting of both the brake and clutch master cylinders in one cast unit. The cover for it is rectangular shaped about 3.5 inches by about 2 inches. It has "made in the USA" cast into it with each protruding cylinder labeled "brake" and "clutch" cast into it. I have the hanging pedal assembly with the master cylinder mounted above the pedals and projecting into the engine compartment. Any idea what make or brand this master cylinder is? Thank you for any help you can give.

I have a brand new Contemporary Pedal Assembly that I never used. I haven't even unwraped the bubble wrap. If you are interested in purchasing let me know.

Thanks
Gary

Located pedals and they are in good shape, but do not include master cylinders. From my contemporary manual the cylinder requirements are as follows:
Brake MC (Floor mounted) Girling 211530
Brake MC (Suspended) Girling 21-1178
Clutch MC Girling 211532 (requires custom spacer)

Gary: Many thanks for this information. Looks like this will do it for me.

No luck. My master cylinder is a one piece, cast unit consisting of one resevior for both the brake and clutch. I suspect my Contemporary is an older one before they started using separate cylinders for the clutch and brakes. I have a newer construction manual and it too mentions separate part numbers for the brake and clutch cylinders, but my unit is combined. Looks like I'm 'outa luck here....

Sounds like a Chevy truck cylinder set. One casting with two bores and a common resevoir. Lot of guy used these. Don't have the number anymore but it was off a lite Chevy truck about 63-64 -65? vintage.

Many thanks Rick. I'll see if I can hunt ones of these down.

Yep! That's the one. 1962 Chevy pickup with standard trans. Slightly different back flange but looks like it will fit perfectly with one, lower bolt hole redrill!
