DESCRIPTION Master cylinder

The mechanical components of the hydraulic braking A tandem master cylinder, which is assisted by a system consist of four piston caliper disc brakes at the lightweight compact servo, is fed by a divided fluid front and two piston caliper disc brakes at the rear. reservoir. The rear section supplies fluid for the The front brake discs are vented. primary circuit and the front section the secondary circuit. A cable controlled parking brake operates a single drum brake mounted on the rear output shaft of the Master cylinder components transfer gearbox and is completely independent of the main braking system.

The basic hydraulic system involves 2 separate and independent primary and secondary circuits which permits a degree of braking should a fault occur in one of the circuits. The primary circuit operates the rear brake calipers and the secondary circuit the front brake calipers.
