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 braking system. The aluminum construction of the master cylinder body offers resistance to wear and heat, contributing to long-term reliability. The plastic reservoir is removable, allowing for easier maintenance and fluid replacement. Both primary and secondary outlets have M14-1.00 thread sizes with bubble flare types, designed to fit standard brake lines securely. The unit includes two mounting holes but does not come with mounting hardware or additional components such as a brake booster or push rod, so these must be sourced separately if needed.
