Ford Master Cylinder

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Thanks for the heads-up, Phil.

Anyone looking for a Ford master cylinder, please note that it is still a current off-the-shelf item and should be available through auto part store channels - see Modern part numbers for CMPs

If you have one needing a rebuild - the seals and pistons etc. are the same as on other American trucks like the Dodge WC-series for example.

Rockauto lists them at about the same price, I bought one on spec a while back, will be using it on the 15cwt trailer when I get to that part of the rebuild. One caution about the M/C cap on the ebay M/C - if hit it cracks easily.

Half the price from Rock auto:

From Rock auto: CARDONE SELECT 1334572 {#MC4572} w/ Reservoir http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/images/Heart.png
Manual brakes; with 1-1/4" Master Cylinder Bore......CAD$45.03

Yes, from Robs advice, I bought two 1+1/4" bore master cylinders (81T 0r 91T or what ever they were) from Rock auto. I now have two CMP 1 +1/2" wheels cylinders coming from there as well. Price is pretty good with purchase price only just beaten by the freight price. I would like to have stainless sleeved my old cylinders, but I can buy (roughly)about 3 sets from Rock Auto for the money.

Rob's price from Rockauto made me go back to their site. There are now 3 choices. Raybestos MC4572 at C$75.73, CARDONE SELECT 1334572 at C$45.06 and A-1 CARDONE 1034572 (reman) at C$35.72+(core C$21.34)=C$57.06 With the cost of return postage on the core, I doubt there are many takers on the remanufactured part.
The original part number was 91T-2140, later replaced by C098TFS-2140 which is noted "Same as 91T-2140 except painted army colour."
