Product Details and Specifications

The Dorman M97936 brake master cylinder is specifically designed for select Ford trucks, including the E-250 Econoline, E-250 Econoline Club Wagon, F-150, F-250, and F-350. Its 1.063-inch bore diameter provides the correct hydraulic pressure needed for these vehicles' braking systems. Made from cast iron, the master cylinder offers long-lasting resistance to wear and corrosion. The included reservoir allows for proper brake fluid containment and circulation, while the two outlets with specified thread sizes ensure compatibility with the vehicle’s brake lines. Note that mounting hardware is not included, so existing hardware should be reused or sourced separately.
