Cheers - appreciate the help.

Right cheers that’s helpful - so did you just leave one of the connectors unattached?

Hi guys. So I’m looking for a replacement master cylinder for my T2. The bus was built October 1969 and has a master cylinder with two brake pipe connections and two separate electrical switch connections. I’m struggling to find the correct replacement part for this - has anyone replaced this...

I've got one fitted to mine and it's a million miles better than stock shifter and you can actually tell which gear you are selected no!! You mustnt have it fitted properly mate so I'd keep persevering as it's worth it.
