B.E master cylinder question

Share this page

I had the ones on the Tunebug done through Gerard (https://gerardsgarage.com/). Quality was quite good. Can't remember who he was using, but he had the proper pistons made up. Good work.
 
Link works from here... (Gerard is a BCF member active here in the Spridgets forum, you should be able to PM him). It was around $300, but that was back in 2007. Sleeved for the disc brakes, cad plated, etc.

Don't know if this'll work better:

Who was it that sleeved slaves and M/C's for B.E's and how much?

Sierra Specialty Automotive.

You can see details here:

https://gerardsgarage.com/Garage/Tech/DbrakeUg.htm

Rebuild includes:

*thorough cleaning and bead blasting
*sleeving one or both bores, any combination of sizes .
*new seal kits
*new springs (when necessary)
*new top and front gaskets
*all new button head screws and washers
*new cap
*new CNC anodized pistons (when sizing to 3/4")
*professional assembly
*free return shipping in US.

New correct length (for 3/4") push rods also available.

Quite a few people around here have them. They are better than new when you get them back.

You can email me direct with any specific questions.
 
Steve...

...and you'll have many more good years with it. I'm still using MC's that are 12+ years old. I've had a couple dozen done by Sierra (that I have personally installed) and easily 50 - 75 others in my circles of Spridgets and Morris Minors, etc., all with great service.

Glad to hear you are happy with it as second owner.
 
Why a smaller bore w/ discs? It's always been my experience in parts that disc equipted cars used a m/c w/ a larger bore. Something different about these?
 
It's not size, per se, but the relationship between the master and the slave, be it wheel cylinder, caliper, etc. In this case, going from 7/8" to 3/4" will reduce pedal effort by approximately 33%.
