Tandem brake master cylinder
Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2016 3:41 pm
My car was booked for an MOT yesterday (for the first time, here in Switzerland).
Everything went well except my car has only a single circuit brake system.
As a matter of fact, the Swiss law requires all cars from 1.1.1973 to have a two circuit brake system.
My car was built Sept.72 but first registration is Feb.73 and this is what counts !
I browsed thru the shops of the well know suppliers but could not find a suitable tandem master cylinder.
As far I know they where only equipped on the federal versions ? Do they have two servos then or none at all ?
Are there any alternatives ? I found a tandem master cylinder for the Spitfire, but the tube exit is on the left side and I'm not sure about the piston diameter ?
Thanks Peter
