Anyone got a spare brake m/cylinder?

Front or rear and doesn't matter what it's from, as long as it works,
has a lever attached if it's a front one, and is very cheap.

I only need it so I can clamp it to the bench for pumping caliper
pistons out. If it's a rear I can make a mounting plate up to suit.

 

Triumph daytona one suit you sir?

 

Christofire says...

You have a spare, what a star. How much, young man?

 

Oh do **** off. Someone's got to offer a BMW one.

 

says...

A BMW one will probably be made by Brembo, so bring it on.

 

I was going to offer my spare BMW one, specifically because it's an ATE
one. But I can't remember where it is.

I've also got a spare Harley one, but I'm not sure your workbench is up
to the weight.

Christofire kindly offered his spare 955i one which wasn't needed in the
end. Pip had previously donated his old RF900 rear m/cylinder but
yesterday morning I discovered it had seized up, which is why I was
looking for a replacement. After we discovered it was seized Pip finally
remembered why he'd replaced it - D'Oh.

An overnight soaking in WD40 unseized the old RF one, and a quick strip
down and clean up has it working properly again. So it's been bolted
onto a ZX-7R r/h rearset that was kicking about, with a bit of steel
strip acting as a bracket to hold the resevoir in a stable place.
Clamped it up in the vice and it works a treat, could do with a larger
resevoir but I can sort that at a later date along with bolting the
whole contraption to the side of the bench.

 

I'll license the concept to you for a Pahnd.

Don't tell him but I'll likely need that if the old RF ever lives
again.

Thanks to WUN for donating a rejected prototype rearset which has
finally come in useful after a couple of years avoiding Elly's stern
gaze on a shelf near my elbow.

 

Pip says...

I'll rebuild the one that's on the RF at the moment then.

Ah, I wasn't sure I was meant to mention where the donated ZX-7R rearset
had come from. Thanks to WUN.

 

Any good mate?
