brake master clynder

while restoring my 69 cj6 with 29,000 orig miles I found out that you can't get a brake master cylinder. was told a 72 wagoneer would fit with modifications . You replace the plunger with your old one and replace the plunger stop with 3/8 flat washer with a slot cut to slide over the plunger. You replace the brake line flare nuts to fit new cylinder. You grind off the lip of the cover to fit in between the frame and mater cylinder.

 

Give Gene a call at Turner 4X4 I bought one from him

You can't? This the under the floor one or the one hung on the fire wall?

If the under the floor one, NAPA should still have them. I researched Napa on line for all the numbers when I replaced the under the floor one in my '60, two years ago.

 

A '69 which the op posted has a dual reservoir mc which a '60 does not have. The single reservoir is readily available as they also used them in flattys, wagons, and pickups. To add to the issue there are two different under floor dual reservoir mc used in early cj's. Firewall mounted didn't come out until '72.

Might also try Hermtheoverdriveguy.com if you don't have luck finding one

 

my mastercyl was out on my 69 found the dual resivoir rebuild kit on ebay took a month to get to me from turkey rebuilt it works fine

 

Yes, look at turner 4wd at thejeep.com. they have a rebuild kit for 67-71 for 51.99
type in 69 master cylinder at top of page and it will come up.

 

Could always replace it with a Wilwood (sp).

Unless you are going for complete restore or Concours, this would probably be the way to go.
If you don't need original stuff that is.


Might also check with Herm the overdrive guy, on the off chance he carries something.

 

www.RockAuto.com carries them.

 

if you search the forum for "master cylinder" you should find a old thread titled something like what master cylinderbrands are better. there is a list a few posts down that that have several brands and part numbers for the duel masters.

 

I replaced mine on my 69 CJ with a 78 79 Ford Bronco master cylinder. Picked a reman unit at O'Reillys auto parts for $14.99/ $9.00 core with a life time guaranty!!

If you can't rebuild it, tho a rebuild kit is far cheaper.
