JensH Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Jamie, you should be able to find one - otherwise do a search on ebay. It has an angle of 90deg. and is a 5/8 bore size; has been used for lots of cars - but you might have to replace the fork with the one you have - see: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-C.....ibJTyH~g&vxp=mtr...you should be able to find it cheaper though And then: As a 'nos' - do replace seals before use!

jamie31888 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Thanks for the advice Jens , I think that's what I'm going to do, not too keen on the idea of using another clutch M/C with a small reservoir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie31888 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hi All,Problem finally solved 🙂It turns out my brake master cylinder bracket was incorrect as previously suggested. I purchased the correct bracket (Part No 146413) which has a shallower angle and a hole in each side. My bracket had no holes in the sides and was the same angle as the clutch bracket, causing the reservoir to sit too high. When the new bracket was fitted along with this 0.625" brake master cylinder the clearance is as it should be.http://race.parts/Catalogue/Br.....ral-Master-CylindersI had to remove the push rod from the old master cylinder and fit it to the new one which was a 5 second job. Just a case of removing a circlip, greasing and refitting.Thanks for everyone's help on this, no more reservoir rubbing on the bonnet 😎Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
