Hi guys and Girls,
just needing some more help identifying this brake master cylinder please,
want replace but want make sure i getting the right one, thanks.
3 brake line, 22 stamped on cylinder,
why do you want to replace it ? Looks OK from the outside . You can get new seals for them if you just want to freshen it up a bit. Im sure there will be a tutorial vid on you tube showing how to do the job
Sometimes I talk to myself ... and we both have a good laugh

Rebuilt with new kit already still not working, yes looks lovely, but must be something wrong with it, thanks Mc tool.

It looks like a ATE one for a 2.8i. They aren't available new, you'll have to have yours refurbished.
Been rebuilt already, still no joy, is there no replacement, wow that is weird, so brake booster is different on ATE as well ??? and replacement 2.8 ones from capriclub are different ? i thought so hence the question, hummmm
Thanks Caprigear.

What is it doing ....or not doing ? The cylinder can be resleeved if its either worn or corroded , and you can usually see that with the eyecrometer.
really poor brakes has been long time, cleaned bore looked pretty good. rebuilt all new seals, Rear bleeds fine, front passenger side bleeds fine, drivers side just pushes air constantly no matter how long you try bleed it ??? no leaks, fluid stays in system never drops while driving the car, so air coming from somewhere ???
have you got it piped correctly? it looks to me like the two outlets at the front are piped to one front brake and the rear line into the other? then the rear outlet, the pipe wiggles its way across the engine bay to the other front brake? i thought both front brakes are fed off the front of the master cylinder?

What a good spot that is.

Cheers Goz, i will switch them around and try bleed them again, hopefully that improves things.
If the pipe change doesn't sort it the ATE master cylinder for a Granada will fit. It has a slightly bigger bore but does the job and still seems available.

Good to know Peter, what year, i got a 94 Granada shell just sitting had a 2.9 in it we took few years ago for something else, will take look tomorrow if Master still there and if its similar or any good,
Thanks again Peter,
The larger bore ones haven't been available from my usual outlets for some time now. Past Parts can properly refurbish the original ones, far better than simply sticking in a set of seals.

Thanks Caprigear, may come to that down the road, for now just want try diagnose these brakes, see if i can get them working better ASAP, before sending anything away to be referbed
Master cylinders are like spark plugs and tires in that there are heaps of different makes but they are all the same size for size .
Go buy a 3/4 tamdem ( dual ) master cylinder off some jap car. The biggest thing is to get the same dia and the mounting flange needs to have the same bolt hole spacing ....or be close enough to make it fit .
My mk2 escort had a Fiat 132 master cylinder on it , bolted straight on AND had remote resiviors which is what I really wanted (had to fit under the delorto's ), and it was 1/4 the price of a proper ford one
