C15TA master cylinder rebuild

[Neil Ashley]

Can anyone help me with a modern UK part number for a seal kit to rebuild the master cylinder on my C15TA?

I am assuming unless anyone knows better, that the Master Cylinder is standard across the Chevy range of CMP vehicles.

Neil,
if they are indeed the same on all Chev cmps, I have a number just not handy that I will try to post tomorrow evening. I just did the rebuild on my master for my HUP. One thing that I did find out, at least on this side of the Atlantic, is that new master cylinders for antique chev (HUP anyhow) are not available off the shelf, unlike the Ford ones are.

I tried the two kit numbers on the list in two different automotive suppliers today, but both claimed not to be able to identify the kits from those numbers.

I realy need a kit number applicable to a UK manufacturer. I will try Roy Elvis who I believe can get various kits manufactured to order.

Neil, the number I have is for NAPA #33 (bar code 47730- 08324), NAPA being the largest automotive parts supplier in North America.

Thanks for the information. I will look up NAPA on the web for details.

Roy Elvis from 'Champ Spares' has also confirmed that if necessary that he can get seals copied as required.

Hi Neal,

I recently restored a C15TA, and I just honed a regular master cilinder, and thrown in a new 1 1/4 inch primary and secundary cup, I think that's all you need.
And yes it's just a common chev cmp master cilinder.

Those cups are widely available, even the dodge wc's have the same size.
If you are desperately in need of those and you cannot find them, LwD can supply them, and if you need a boot and piston, also.

Hope this helps,

ps maybe you can send a pic of your C15TA, because it is not a common truck eh!!
