RE: Brake Master Cyl Dimensions

Hi,
	If the internal diameter is smaller this would mean that you may
experience a harder brake peddle with less effect on the actually braking.
You may find that the newer slaves have a different internal diameter to
allow for this.

Subject: Brake Master Cyl Dimensions


Wondering if anyone has replaced the brake mc (87 5k cstq) and noticed the
following, regarding the replacement unit.

I've obtained a rebuild from a local (and trustworthy) parts place, but have
a
concern before pulling the old one out. The new cylindrical unit appears
identical, except the external diameter is about 1/8 inch (3-4mm) smaller
than
the existing one.

Perhaps newer replacements are smaller that my original 12 year old part?
Anyone think I should be concerned?
