I'm looking to buy a Dual Line brake MC for my 59 BE and noticed that on Moss that the Push Rod is N/A.

Anyone know of a vendor that has these?---or one for sale?

Thanks...
 
Try Joe Way at Sierra. I just had my dual mc resleeved to the original 3/4 plus completely overhauled. I don't know that he has the pushrods but it's worth a try.

Sorry to Hi-jack, but I'm about to send my MC to Sierra. Do I need to include the push rods?
 
It depends. If you are resleeving a 7/8 to 3/4, the pushrods need to be shortened. I included mine and they said they were already correct. I guess the PO used the original pushrods with newer 7/8 MC. I would send them and let Joe check them and modify them if necessary. They include that at no extra charge if necessary.
 
Thanks Richard.

I just got my MC out a few minutes ago and it appeared the push rods were slightly bent! So I'll definitely include them with the MC in case they need some working over.

Thanks!

Wrong part, John. He's looking for the one to fit a dual circuit master cylinder, for later cars. P/N 181-695. It's listed as not available. I checked my VB catalogue with the same results.

I emailed joe at Sierra who doesn't have the part but offered help (Seems like a nice guy):
Can anyone supply these measurements?
I don't have any parts for the later Spridgets---but I see looking at the Moss site that they appear to be very similar to the clutch master pushrod but lacking the knob at the piston end that is trapped under
the retaining washer. I wonder if a pushrod from a discarded clutch master cylinder could be cut to the right length and used for the brake master.

<u> <span style="color: #FF6666"> If you can get some dimensions from a correct brake pushrod, including overall length from center of clevis pin hole to end, width of the slot in the clevis, and clevis pin diameter, </span> </u> I could check through the similar cylinders from other applications that I have in my bonepile for one that might be cut to match. Or perhaps you have or
know someone who has an old clutch master from which you could rob the pushrod if it matches well enough.

Hope this helps.
