After my Sprint single line brake master cylinder failure yesterday ( no damage done thankfully) I am thinking would it be possible to convert it to a dual line master cylinder is this something that could be done and which parts would be required.

Tandem master cylinder : £105.00 exchange with £50 surcharge if you don't have a RHD unit in serviceable condition to exchange Four way bulkhead union with shuttle valve Foot brake warning light within cluster Various adaptations to the pipework |

Actually, you don't NEED the PDWA valve (4 way union with shuttle valve in Alun's description above) or the footbrake warning light wiring it supplies. The factory fitted these as an add on when they converted to dual circuit, but there are much better and more reliable methods available nowadays (saab 9-3 reservoir caps with fluid level sensors fit straight onto the dual circuit master, £5 or less from your local non specific scrappy)Four way bulkhead union with shuttle valve Foot brake warning light within cluster Various adaptations to the pipework What you will need is the master cylinder itself, 2 bespoke pipes from it to the position of the original 4 way union on the bulkead and a new imperial 3 way union adaptor. If you go ahead, I can make the bespoke pipes needed, supply you with a 3 way and a diagram of how it all goes together. Steve |
