Hi folks, I seem to remember a thread a few months back where people were buying radial master cyclinders from a place in Italy at a good price. Did I dream this up?? Anyway, I'd like to purchase a new master cylinder for both brake and clutch on my 996 - Any recommendations for the MC and also where to purchase? I have the 4 pad non-radial calipers if that makes a difference? Thanks
The spacing of the attachment bolts will also need to be factored in. At some point in time the Showa fork leg changed. Not 100% sure but I believe the early spacing is 45mm and 65mm for the later models. Andy
Only place i can think of in Italy would be BURSI EVOLUTION. Loads of nice parts at good prices. I've got the same calipers on the SPS and run a brembo 19X20 brake MC which is great on track, loads of power with little lever travel. It might be a bit strong on a greasy wet road when i plank cuts you up, so if you're going to use on the road one of the adjustable ratio type might be good as it can be softened up, i use an accossato adjustable ratio MC on my road bike, exact same levers as brembo and from what i can tell same quality. For the clutch i use an 18X16 MC as the clutch doesn't need to flow the same amount of fluid but does need a fair bit of lever travel to keep sensitivity.
Thanks Chaps - I already have the calipers (65mm spacing) and have now found the site I was looking at - Carpimoto in Italy. Would this one work for me? CarpiMoto - Radial Brake Master Cylinder Brembo 19RCS and then this for the clutch - CarpiMoto - Radial Clutch Master Cylinder Brembo 16RCS Cheers
Yep - I ordered them from CarpiMoto, great service, Fedex delivered two days later. I also needed the reservoirs so I ordered them at the same time and got free delivery on the lot. Saved a fortune on the rip-off, price rigging, UK dealers.
