T a master cylinder

Post by Mick bibby » Sun Sep 15, 2024 2:48 am

Hi can anyone tell me how tall my master cylinder should be on my TA , I think the one I’ve got is a TC
I thought I had done the hard bit but I’ve got bogged down with a million small details I don’t have ,

My car has been converted to a TD master.
This is all I could find for TA. It's from the Instruction Manual for the T Midget.
Maybe you could print it and scale the picture to get an idea of the size.

The master cylinder and tin can reservoir shown are identical for TA TB and TC. What screws on to one end is different.

Interesting. Doug is usually more accurate on things like that. BR190, BR192 and BR196 are all the same tin can shown.
