Past parts will sort that master cylinder, or land rover brake cylinder almost straight swap, just needs to change the ends from metric to imperial going into master, that bracket goes opposite starter motor, between engine and gearbox,
you need a cylinder repair kit there should be a circlip inside the servo end that allows the inner assembly to come out backwards so you can change the rubber seals and look at the bore for scratches if its not bad just a clean with turps but a rubbing with 600 grit emery soaked in oil till it looks nice an smooth and refit with red rubber grease that should come with the repair kit.
thanks for the info. I did remove a seal and a tiny circlip from the top hole which now just shows the 13mm bolt head, also i have the red plastic tape with eth product info on thankfully. do you know which companies sell the repair kits?
@@ShelleysCortina i get mine off of ebay most ford cars from that year have the same cylinder so theyre a common item just search mk3 cortina master cylinder repair kit,alternatively watch pete c's video on the mk3 brakes i think he lists the most likely stockists.
Do you treat what you’ve done with rust stopper ? Might be worth thinking about you shouldn’t get any probs then you might want to mask up the hole to as you don’t want loads of crap in your tank …great vid enjoyed it making some great progress 👍
Think tanks where silver when new, but most get painted black in its lifetime, if I was painting the tank I would paint the top with whatever colour you have knocking about cos its not seen once bolted up, and the neck and bottom black,
