Master Cylinder - Will it fit

[larryt]

hey all!

 

so i purchased the below MC

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=311654888663

 

someone now tells me this WILL NOT fit my 1969 1600-2 RHD.

 

could someone please let me know if this is true?? i have a duel servo braking system.

 

thanks

if I am not mistaken, that's for a LHD car. Not sure anyone is going to luck out and find an ATE RHD master for under a hundred quid.

 

Getting yours resleeved may be the best option unless you want to go with the scary priced Jaymic options.

yeah i dont fancy paying that much for a new one, i have looked at a kit for refurbishing them, might give that a go at the same time as doing the clutch cylinder. 

 

thanks for the reply sir

If you put that part # (34 31 1 113 656) into Maximillian's Site, it shows it as correct for both LHD & RHD........go figure.

this is the issue im having, i am seeeing it as it fits both, however people are telling me it doesnt fit the RHD. i trust the knowledge of other 02'ers more than that of a website that has no hands on knowledge.

 

anyway the company i bought it from are refusing to refund me the money, i guess i better try and sell it elswhere

As Simeon said, the one on Ebay is a LHD cyl. The Seller's location is France & what would they know for what's required in the UK!

Below are pics of my Touring's RHD one and my '76's LHD one. Not even close to the same. The flange on a RHD one is at 45deg to the ports, not 90.

Maybe the innards are the same, if so, it won't be a complete loss.

 

[Simeon]

Nope, they are a different size. Pretty sure the bore is smaller with a longer travel on the RHD. 

 

What happened to 'Returns Accepted'?

 

 

[larryt]

they are refusing to accept the return, even thought i have explained that it mis-selling, as it says it fits a 1600-2, and it doesnt.. 

 

now im not getting any replies from them

[Simeon]

Probably won't get any help but raise a complaint with eBay. Might make them think twice about offering dud info.

a great news update:

 

have spoken with ebay and paypal, they are in agreement that the item was "mis-sold" and that i should be entitled to a full refund. 

even thought i am out of my return period, paypal offer a 180day coverage on stuff like this. 

 

if the seller doesnt respond with an adequate response by the 28th of feb, im getting a full refund

 

*Spice World!*
