EddieGT Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hi,My tandem master keeps faling after rebuild, replacing rubbers, etc etc.I have bad experienced with rebuilding brake cylinders, so i would like to replace the whole unit.Where can i find a new one?I dont see any on ebay or rimmer, allthough i see a similor one for a tr6. Is there any difference? Perhaps different bore?Cheers Edwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 That's strange, tandem brakes on a gt6 mk1 :oDo you have a picture of the master ? Have you looked at James Paddock ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotoflex Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Spitbits in the US has them for $199http://www.spitbits.com/store/Master-Cylinder-C369.aspxWhen you get a new one, hang on to the old one. Then when you need another new one, just have the old one re-sleeved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTeesside Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I can't help, but this is a very interesting read. I had no idea they had this option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotoflex Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I think it was because US federal regulations required separate braking systems, so the tandem system was offered as an option on the home market cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin M Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I just took the early Spitfire Tandem one for the GT6 as the GT6 Tandem one was not available. It was originally a UK car with single master, so I changed the front 4 way union to a 3 way union and installed a separarte brake line to the rearWith Mintex 1144 pads it works very well.Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
