    Master Cylinder

    Hi guys. Im in the process of building a Gen II kit. I'm trying to get the parts ready to get the breaking system done and on AK's website it states that I need a Girling Master Cylinder 3/4" with integral reservoir. I was wondering wheather anyone has used one of these from Car Builders Solutions or knows if this is an adequate replacement for the Girling 0.75 Master Cylinder With Large Reservoir - MA75ILR

    Thanks
    Anthony

    Anthony,

    for the braking system, you need a brake servo from a rover 25. The 3/4" mater cylinder is for the clutch paired with 7/8" slave. A 3/4" master cylinder from ebay for a land rover will do the trick, £20 tops.

    Consider fitting remote reservoirs as the brake system is difficult to fill under the wing...
