TC Master cylinder valve body options.
TC Master cylinder valve body options.
I'm restoring TC6970 and found that the valve body in the master cylinder had an incorrect replacement that is also damaged. Can't find a source for a replacement or substitution. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi ya psych (not sure who you are as no name sorry) but I suspect FTFU will have the seperate part, but not seen them sold in UK singuarly. However, if you are in UK(I can't determine that either) then I can find one for you, cheers Chris

How is the TC valve different from the TD? Diameter?

The problem is that I don't have the original, Attached are pictures of the valve that came in the master cylinder. The valve is damaged and looking for a replacement. Was hoping to buy an original style, but I have to believe others would work. Neil

In a pinch, you can run without it. I ran for many years with no valve without issue. Just make sure your brake shoe return springs are in good condition. Beyond that, I think that if you find a valve of the same size in another drum brake MC then you could use that in its place. Most of the ones I've seen have a replaceable rubber component.
