My Manx 2 has a single master cylinder. You all have said in many of these forums that a dual cylinder is best and I agree and understand why. So what master cylinder/reservoir works best? I've seen several pics of ones with the reservoir setting directly on top of the cylinder. I like that one. Is it the German unit? Where's the best place to aquire one?
Thanks, all. |

That thread is about reservoirs.
Not sure what is the best source for the master cylinder, I suppose most just purchase a new one. 1971 & up disc brake bus cylinders are supposed to fit (see http://www.type2.com/library/brakes/dualmas.htm and/or http://www.karmann-ghias.ca/Dual Master Cylinder.htm).
I found one that I think will work on a Rabbit with manual brakes....bit of a surprise, I thought all Rabbits had a power booster since they all had disc brakes. It even came with a reservoir. Haven't put it on yet , 'cause I will need some different brake lines also. |
