DR30 / MR30 Hatch rear ends

[Matty T]

1. Does anyone know a part number / vehicle that I can get a 1" master cylinder off that fits the R30 booster?

Update: Number 1 is not an issue anymore. After a bit of work with some vernier calipers, it appeared that the Patrol master cylinder (which wasn't supposed to fit) may actually work. I took a spare brake booster back to my friendly brake specialist and checked. Bugger me, it fits! It is snug, but with a small adjustment to the actuating rod (which is adjustable) we will have a goer. The only issue is that one of the brake line outlets on the master cylinder is in a different spot, coming out the front rather than the side. Not a real issue as I am putting the new brake lines in it.

So, anyone got those rear brakes?

Cheers,

Matt

Matt,

Before you go jumping in buying the Patrol master cylinder, may I suggest you take a sample of the old 7/8 master cylinder to your friendly old brake parts place and he look up his picture referrence, because a TOKIKO brand 1" master cylinder is available in this country, exactly the same configuration as your standard 7/8 version.

The parts list only shows the 7/8 number, but as I said, take your old to the parts house and theyt will have a picture and cross referrence for the 1" version. I have asked one of my local brake specialists to help us out with a part number for you, but as yet have not got an answer.

As for rear callipers, you just gunna have to source them, as they are becomming a bit like "Rocking Horse Sh!t" extremely difficult to find, but .............. in my usual style I have been able to locate a complete rear end minus the diff & drive shafts (half shafts) that's rear cross member, trailing arms, hubs and brakes and am waiting for a price.

If your interested maybe you might want to PM me for this information.

Cheers,

Dennis
