We had these made for us in stainless steel to alleviate the rust & pitting issues that plagued OEM master cylinders and to visually replicate the O.E.M. item. Bored 1mm smaller (1/2″ / 13mm bore) to add stronger braking and feel. Although the above recommendations are for Triumph front brakes, they fit all Triumph front applications 1973 onward with Lockheed brakes.
