Fitting a servo, got a small problem

[AxlFoley]

I'm just going through my parts prior to fitting my servo and I have come upon a problem, the reservoir I have doesn't fit the master cylinder, does anyone know if it's the master cylinder I have to change, or the reservoir?
Thanks

Looks like that's the right master cylinder, same as my '69.

ok cool, have you fitted a servo to your 69?

 

[sparkywig]

No, just have to press harder with discs all round.

lol yeah i know that feeling, that's why I'm fitting the servo, I think I have it sussed its the master cylinder that;s wrong, just ordered a new one.

The wife has started driving the bus so I think a servo will help her out a bit

That's an early master cylinder, if it's any good keep hold of it GSF want almost £150 for a new one.

If i remember correctly, the centres between the two brake fluid inlets on the top of the MC vary dependant on year.

either the wrong MC or the wrong reservior, but you knew that is it doesnt fit, lol. either that or one of them is a JK part lol :lol:

That MC isn't a servo MC...
