The Centric Premium Brake Master Cylinders line focuses on delivering precise hydraulic control and durability for a range of domestic vehicles. This product line emphasizes quality materials such as aluminum for the master cylinder body and plastic for the reservoir, ensuring corrosion resistance and long service life.

Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Brake Master Cylinder features a 1.000 inch (25.4 mm) straight bore diameter, which is critical for maintaining proper hydraulic pressure in the brake system. The aluminum construction of the master cylinder body offers strength and resistance to wear, while the plastic reservoir is designed to be removable for ease of maintenance. The unit includes a master cylinder cap but does not come with mounting hardware, push rod, brake booster, or bleeder hoses, so these components must be sourced separately if needed. The three-port configuration includes primary and secondary outlets with M10-1.00 and M18-1.00 thread sizes, respectively, accommodating standard brake line fittings. The primary outlet uses a bubble flare type, and the secondary outlet uses an open flare, ensuring compatibility with factory brake lines on the specified vehicle models.
