Questions: I have a 52 M38 and the Brake Master Cylinder has a steel line taped into the cap on the Master Brake Cylinder going to the Air cleaner canister (Water Forging Version)? Is this a custom modification and what is its purpose? Do I need to reconnect this way? Do you have the cap needed?

Questions: Hi, I have a 1967 CJ5 and my master cylinder looks like this item. However, the description states it is for 46 -66 model year. The master cylinder that your company says belongs on my Jeep is a dual reservoir. Can I use this cylinder on my 67 CJ5?
Question By: Greg Stein on Jan 22 2018 5:57 PM
This is the correct master cylinder for your CJ-5 as long as you have 9" brakes. Typically in '67, the CJ-5s had 10" brakes and had a dual reservoir master cylinder.
So, as long as your Jeep has 9" brakes and the master cylinder is mounted under the driver seat of the vehicle, this is the correct one for your application. Thanks
