Questions: I have a 1948 CJ-2A, with serial #150901. And I believe this is the correct part as the front mounting hole is threaded. But I'm curious, did they ever come with a plastic cap? I'm ordering a new part, but I was just wondering. Thank you.
Question By: Shelby s. Wegener on Aug 1 2020 8:01 PM
If you have a plastic cap its most likely a replacement master cylinder.

Questions: I have a 48 CJ2A, Ser. Number 177318. The master break cylinder does not appear to pressurize any of the four brake lines... or at least no air or fluid is forced out at the wheels when 'bleeding". could this be a failure of the cylinder piston or one of the rubber cups? No idea how to proceed other than a complete replacement of the master cylinder.
Question By: Daniel Baldwin on Oct 26 2016 6:35 PM
Its usually best to replace the master cylinder all together. We do sell a repair kit too part number: 805654 if the bore on your old master cylinder is still good.
