Type 3 Master Cylinder - 1968-73 - ATE

Top quality master cylinder manufactured by ATE in Germany for use on all Type 3 Variants manufactured up to 1967 – 1973 with dual circuit brakes. 

Quality: Top quality

Fitting: This master cylinder is designed for left hand drive models.  Right hand drive cylinders are no longer available so this product must be modified to fit by moving the brake lines to the opposite side of the master cylinder.

Tips: If you are changing you master cylinder, some or all of the brake pipes may need to be re-routed. This is due to the port layout being different on the new master cylinder. When planning your brake line routing, be sure to fit the brake switch `below` the master cylinder centre line. Otherwise air can be trapped in the system which will make it difficult to bleed the brakes.

It is also VERY important that the end play of the brake pedal pushrod is adjusted correctly. Follow the factory specifications of 1mm endplay. The pushrod can be adjusted using the thread and lock-nut on the pushrod shaft. For some applications you may have to cut the pushrod down in length.

Applications:

VW Type 3: 1967 – 1973
