Brake master cylinder
 
Hi again peeps. My sierra had ABS so I need to get a non ABS master cylinder. All the ones I have seen so far don't appear to have the push rod with them, yet reading the book all the evidence seems to suggest that one is required. Can anybody throw any light on this? I think in the original car a pushrod went to the servo then the servo had something that pushed in the pistons in the cylinder:confused: Should I be looking at a different master cylinder?
Your thoughts would be appreciated, as always.

Make or buy the pedals and there is a hole in the brake pedal for a push rod.
The original servo had the rod fixed inside it so you will need to make one

Buy a clevis and pin from somewhere like rally designs or CBS, then cut the head off a bolt to make your own - mine took about 2 mins including filing it nice to make.

Cheers

Adrian

Thanks guys, I guess it will become a bit clearer when I get my master cylinder.
