So, did you use two of the smaller ones? Any clearance problems getting to the caps or adding fluid?
I used two of the smaller ones. If you do not use the spacer, there is somewhat of a clearance problem, but it is doable. If you use the spacer, there are no problems. BTW, it has been said that if you use the spacer, the stock push rod will work fine. Otherwise, you need to make one.

Remote Reservoir Mitsubishi Part Numbers
FYI, the Part Number for the 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse Brake Master Cylinder Remote Reservoir is MB534534 and the part number for the bracket for this reservoir is MB534537. They are both still available through a Mitsubishi dealer (usually as a special order 1-4 days). The reservoir fits very nicely; the reservoir takes a 3/8" ID hose and the Nissan F10 master cylinder takes a 1/2" ID hose. A trip to a good hardware or automotive store for some 1/2" barb to 1/4 NPT and 3/8" barb to 1/4 NPT along with some multi-purpose hose (1/2" and 3/8") and some hose clamps and you are set.

Hi all:
Old thread, I know. But, I'm trying to source a dual-circuit brake master cylinder. I haven't been able to find any using the part numbers given (all sources at least two years old - everyone out of stock). When I search various sources using the above vehicle information (1978 Nissan F10), the images show a MC set up for remote reservoir, which isn't right. I've attached a photo of what I'm looking for
Anyone sourced one recently?
TIA,
John.

Here is pic of the F10 MC with Tilton reservoirs on a Series V body, using the stock master cylinder spacer.
A word of caution, the Tilton master cylinders are ususally sold without caps. They are about six dollars each.
I have two master cylinders and one set of reservoirs that I can no longer use. My system requires 7/8" bore MC. The MC's have some use, but are in good shape. I'll sell the it all for $50 plus shipping.

The relative position of the MC and brace are quite different between your car and the picture I sent. I guess that's an Alpine/Tiger thing. I need to check my car's MC & brace locations, since it is a converted SIV Alpine, but a pretty thoroughly done one. I'll PM you on your offer. Thanks.

John.

Anyone else have one of these, or know of a source? Someone else snapped up Bill's before I verified it would work on my car. Thanks.

Lol. Their website says they do. I've tried both the Subaru and F10 one. They're mostly out of stock, which you either find out when attempting to check out, or the next day when they email you.
I did get a Subaru one (Centric brand) from them last week, but it had been installed and returned already (found that out when I opened the box to find a dirty MC with fluid in it). So I assumed it was defective and returned it. At the time, RA said they would just send me another. But, two hours after dropping the first one off at FedEx to return it, they called to inform me they were out of stock and would issue a refund. Apparently, the one I had was the last one. I called them to see if they could ship it back, but their return center can't ship, so I'm screwed.
Everything left is either remanufactured or the wrong bore size. I'll stop by the car parts place and thumb through thier books, but I'm not hopeful at this point.

The last time I was in Advance Auto they had the F-10 clutch master. Didn't ask about the brake master.

Do you still have the tiltom MC's? Wil they work on Alpine? thanks...mike
Hi, Since I have to pretty much rebuild the entire brake system I figure I might as well go to dual circuit. I found the 1977 Nissan F10 (aftermarket by Cardone) MC and ordered it from Summit. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaz-11-1840/overview/year/1977/make/nissan/model/f10
So just to make sure I have the right other stuff, do I need the following?
2 caps https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=1118
2 small (4oz) reservoirs https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=3558
2 o-rings: https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=1110
Is that what you used Bill?
I suppose throw these in for good measure:

I'm looking at fitting this to a LHD SIV.
Thanks for any input.

No, I did not use any O-rings. The place I ordered the reservoirs from did not mention them and were not a with the M/C. I was unaware of their existence until now. The reservoirs were a little difficult to seal without them. Took more clamping pressure than I would normally think should be necessary.
