Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Brake Master Cylinder features a 1.125-inch (28.575 mm) straight bore diameter, crafted from aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance. The included plastic single reservoir is designed to hold brake fluid securely, while the master cylinder cap helps prevent contamination. The unit has three ports: a primary outlet with an open flare type and a secondary outlet with an inverted flare, ensuring proper brake line connections. It requires a brake pressure switch for operation, which is not included. Mounting hardware, push rod, brake booster, bleeder hoses, and mounting bracket are also not included, so these components must be sourced separately.
