Master cylinder for 288mm mk3 items
« on: 21 July 2012, 16:58 »
Car originally a 1.3

Acquired a mk2 16v servo, going 288mm mk3 VR6 front brakes, any idea if a mk3 2.0 8v master cylinder will be ok?

Also having a 1.8t in there so slightly concerned about cambelt cover clearance issues!

I've got a mk2 16v servo on mine and its tight on the cambelt cover fave. Dut I think my mates running the mk3 one and it still clears.

Marvellous, thank you very much  :smiley:

Was hoping to get a mk3 item as few local lads breaking them, but think I might just go for the LCR one to make sure   :tongue:

Do I also need the 3mm spacer they advertise that's essential on eBay?
