Help re brake master cylinder....

Post by **piedpiper** » 18 Apr 2007, 20:12

Just taken the master cyl off my 2.0 lt Aircooled to replace with one bought from GSF.

The new cylinder (part no 251611021C - obtained by GSF putting my reg no into their box of tricks) has three hydraulic connections to the brake system, one on the top at the rear, one on the bottom left hand side near the stop screw and one on the right hand side at the front in line with the stop screw.

The old one has only two hydraulic connections and does not have the bottom one at the front by the stop screw....... (why is my life never simple?**?!!).

Can I simply block off the extra hyd connection?

Many thanks

Ring them and tell them they have prob sent the wrong part..
I never rely on there system.. I always try and give the original part number.. so you should ring and say.. hey, this part doesnt look right, the part number off the old one is..... what have you sent me.."

I had a lot of trouble with GSF and I have a trade account.. it finally got sorted, but I am extra carefull with part numbers now...
