Master brake cylinder replacement options 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Niel on  Wed Sep 29 23:29 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Any suggestions of later model Volvo master brake cylinders that might fit my 144? I can get a good cylinder off a 940 for virtually nothing. Just wondering what you guys have already done in this line.

The reason for replacement is because the service kit for mine is around $65 from the only supplier I could find. It's the Lockheed cylinder where the kit includes one piston with a rubber pre-fitted (you can't fit it yourself). And I have to import the kit to this Island I'm living on... The cylinder is also getting pitted. Fortunately it is where there is no travel. But it will grow. So I'd rather replace it with something that's more common.

Thanks.

PS: Please do not suggest anything off a 1975 240. Very hard to find where I am. After 1980 is fine.
