This Wilwood master cylinder kit is for custom vehicle builders and mechanics working in tight spaces who need reliable braking performance. Its primary benefit is its compact design, offering full-size output in a short body, with a key caveat being the need for specific technical knowledge for installation. This kit features a corrosion-resistant E-coated body, includes options for direct or remote reservoir mounting, and provides ample stroke for most applications.

Its primary advantage is its extremely compact body length (3.36 inches), allowing it to fit into very tight spaces where larger master cylinders would not be suitable, while still providing ample braking output.
You will need to adapt your brake lines to the 1/8" NPT female fluid outlet. Ensure you use the correct fittings for your specific brake line material and size.
This master cylinder is compatible with standard DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Always use fresh, high-quality fluid.
The bore size affects the leverage and fluid displacement. A .625" bore is generally suitable for single caliper applications or dual caliper applications with smaller pistons. Consult your brake system designer or a professional for specific recommendations based on your vehicle's weight and intended use.

Air in the brake lines. Re-bleed the entire brake system carefully. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
Check the seals on the fluid outlet fitting and reservoir connections. Ensure they are properly seated and tightened. If leaking from the piston seal, the unit may require a rebuild.
Verify brake line connections are correct and secure. Ensure the pushrod is properly connected to the pedal and has full travel. Check caliper function independently.
