Good evening all!
This is my first post in the forum and am hoping someone might be able to help out with some technical knowledge. I'm currently working on rebuilding a '74 Stag that's been dry garaged for over 20 years and has now been passed on for me to clean up!
I've just taken off the existing brake master cylinder and in the boot found another one that looks brand new. I've taken both of them apart and can now see that they're not quite the same. The original is marked 3212-218C 7/8 and the other is 3212-815C 13". The outer casing is exactly the same in both as is the sequence of seals but the bore looks smaller in the new one.
The old one doesn't look in great shape when compared to the "new" one (especially as I slightly scored the piston trying to get off a particularly stubborn seal). Does anyone know if using the 815C is a definite no-no for the Stag? Will it affect the braking characteristics or reliability significantly?
