A lot of you probably already know but thought I'd post this up, Been replacing my T1 & T2 brake boosters/MC's over past few months, and thought the Master Cylinder would be the Easy part, but it's amazing how hard it's been to try & find a replacement for this forward-bottle style! ( see pic )



Basically every cheap easy to find MC has the bottle-at-the-back design which means it won't fit in the City's. My way around it has been to cut down the height of the bottle, and luckily the new MC I got came with a rubber lid unit, so I can actually open it & fill with fluid :p



Anyways really just means that if your MC fails you will have to rebuild it or pay abit to have it redone. The shaft-style MC's have the forward mounted bottles, but they don't fit the new Made in China Boosters

That reservoir looks small, does it hold the required amount of fluid.

Its had 12mm Cut off the top, but still has the Min/Max markings so can hold the right amount, but no extra.

All good, nice work, looks tidier.

My first idea was a section of 45mm rubber elbow over the base of the bottle that allowed it to be mounted leaning forward clearing the box which worked, but I didn't like the idea of rubber soaking in brake fluid. I'ii get the other mc rebuilt and stuck back in eventually, just showing the issue with the common type. A website says this mc is a replacement for the original disscontinued Honda City MC but yeah...it isnt

could a steel or alloy elbow be fabricated to suit and relocate the bottle perhaps?

Yeah of course a nice aluminum adaptor could be cnc'd etc. but hardly worth the effort. A master cylinder from a 2002 Accord would fit as it has a offset low profile bottle but only ones I found online for sale were $200+.

This ones pretty cheap.

Yeah but the brake line attatchments are on the wrong side. Was hoping to find a closer matching type.

Ha Yeap that's the beast I was looking at, shame New ones are closer to $200 though :p This all shows how Unique the City's Brake parts are.
