Good day Peeps 2000 X11 Can anyone tell me if the rear master cylinder has a repair kit available? Is the rear master cylinder the same as anything Jap? |

No worries Gents my master cylinder is ok.  I had fitted a hydraulic brake light switch to the top of it and changed the OE hose for a Goodridge then couldn't get a brake. I tried elevating the calliper, back bleeding it and all manner of ways but because I couldn't get any pressure at all I thought I would need a kit  In the finish I pulled the switch out and noticed the holes were tiny compared to the OE banjo bolt and the switch type banjo was half as long again as the OE banjo. I fitted my original banjo and got a brake straight away. My fault for buying a cheap switch. I will now look at a better switch. Thanks foe your time

The XB switches are nice, but plated. The Goodridge stainless ones wont discolour but they don't come with the fancy rubber boot... |

The brake switch was ordered at the same time, I collected it the next day. Better still was the price.

I can't find the old invoice for the rear which would include switch, but I think it was about £18. I have still got the invoice for the double disc front lines. Banjo bolts single £3.35 each copper washers £0.30 each lines and labour £10 for both. all plus VAT. All Goodridge stainless. The guy took 5 or 10 minutes to assemble. |
