Does anyone know where to get an original LX master cylinder. I want my current torana to be as close to factory as is humanly possible. When i had to replace the one on my hatch all i could find were the new PBR type's which are no doubt better in design but look at little out of place. If anyone knows where they have the old original square types for sale please let me know.

The large pipe outlet is it to the front of the car or towards the booster
I'm sure I have a few (dozen) lying around somewhere

Got a pic of one ?

Outlet towards front of car. Havnt got a pic of one but i do have one sitting in the garage but it's cactus. I know you can get them redone but it's costly and id rather get a new one if possible. The new replacement modern types have circular lids. You can tell the older ones by the large rectangular lids. Still split into two sections of course. I had to replace my old one on the hatch because the seal was gone on the lid and you cant get new seals so had to get a whole bloody master cylinder.

You talking Master Cylinder or Master Cylinder Reservoir? Sounding more like the reservoir from your description of the caps.

Yes you can still get the cap rubbers seperatly

No you can't buy the cast iron cylinder new anymore

Yes I can recondition the old one for you so it will fit back on and work
