hey list good to have you back

so i got my master cyl from the ebay seller and he assures me its intended
for the s6, great, thats what i have.

however there was some heads up posting about it not being correct. i really
appreciate the concern of others, but now im concerned that ive got an
incorrect part.

i think its proper though because it looks identical as far as dimensions
and orifices go, as can be seen here:

... same " 25 ZV " badging reservoir mounts and line orifices..

and what can be seen as scratched off here:

looks like this on my factory unit:

yeah, sorry kind of difficult to see at a strange angle mirrored and all..

the replacement MC has markings that lead me to believe it was manufactured
by ATE in 95

oh, and on the box, beck/arnley # is 072-9075 "made in germany" 31500

but alas, all of the similarities also apply to the '93 i have for parts...
just thought if i could get a good price, why replace with used and maybe
have to do it over soonafter... ooofaah

so anybody have any words of assurance?

also, almost of greater importance is that i thought the brake servo was
part of/inside the master cylinder.. is this correct? or is that whats in
between the MC & firewall??

thanks listers, -brian
