Very good Bob. I'm tracking one now that's at 18.00. Frugal Arsse Studebaker Owner

Thanks, all. I found prices for this master from $165 down to what I paid, which was $42 including shipping; quite a spread in maybe 15 minutes' worth of research. That's not CASO, that's just dilligence!

Thanks Dave, but jimmijim hooked me up with the info. Should be all set- at least for now!

Good thing- 'cuz the box from NAPA had a different number on it,
as did the one from Studebakers NorthWest!!!

1 inch bore

A bigger bore will give you a harder pedal push, but a shorter stroke.
(Unless you change your pivot point)

So what size do I need for this car??

Sat. AM bump- Can anyone help with that bore size?

[Bob Andrews]

Question- What bore should this master be? We're thinking 1 1/8". Is this correct?

I've got two new ones on the shelf over at my shop- I'll try to remember to look at the boxes when I head over there a bit later today if you'd like...

P.S. I did recall the below thread, but I'm not sure it answers my specific question:

Or maybe Warren did. Clarification?

[Bob Andrews]

Working on the 57 Provincial (finally). Car is getting complete new brakes- all new shoes, wheel cylinders, hoses, lines, and master.

Am currently looking for a master cylinder. I want to stay with a bolt-on single master, stock-type. My understanding is that a Wagner PN 2796 will fit (from Nate's site). Looking around I found a new one for a good price. However, the number shows as F2796. Is this the same? What does the 'F' denote?

A forum search did not turn up an answer to this, at least that I could find.
