For anyone in the same predicament with the drum brake master cylinder, the Advics BMT-090 and a set of 10 psi residual pressure valves is what you need. The pressure valves install inline and the master is the same 1 inch bore as the original 75' 4 wheel drum master. Made in Japan and only...

Kurt, I took a look at the wheel cylinders on your website, the piston ends do not have the angled self-centering geometry as the originals. I want to retain the self centering functionality so I'll give a rebuild of my OEM cylinders a try. I'll take you up on your offer for the rebuild kit...

All I can say is that I wish you assholes would stop paying double and triple what stuff sells for. Yall walk in and complain your parts bill is too low? 😀 We ARE the market.

How do they compare to the originals? Any pictures?

@cruiseroutfit Kurt, I knew you couldn't resist this thread. FWIW I think your business is a good resource to the community and I appreciate that you have gone to other markets to buy limited quantities of inventory to re-sell to those of us who are more (or much more) fortunate than others...

The brake fluid volume is mostly incidental, unlike a hydraulic system that contains a pump or stroking cylinder, hydraulic brakes have their friction components very close together and the required translation of those parts (or one of them) to act on the other is relatively small. The...

P=F/A so changing bore size affects the amount of force required to push the pedal to achieve a certain pressure and subsequent level of braking at the wheels. Masters of different bore sizes can sometimes be interchanged so as long as you are aware of and willing to accept the changes to the...

RA is great, just make for damn sure you know what you are ordering, ALWAYS use PayPal, and if you need to return something, make sure you understand their return question algorithm and understand they hate their customers. RA used to be great about 15 years ago when there was a good supply of...

Thats about how much they all cost until they become "rare". It would be interesting to see if the residual valves can be changed so that a disc master could be converted to drum.

Interesting. So the geometry of the wheel is such that the tire can only be installed and removed from the outer face of the wheel? The ones I have seen do not have a large inner lip the size of the outer bead lock ring. They simply are a normal wheel with a faux outer bead lock.

Instead of looking at the markings, look and feel the quality. In this case that sticker showing what dealer the regional warehouse shipped to is a dead giveaway of legitimacy. Good on you for questioning though, question everything because these days you cant trust anybody or anything.

Guess all the work was for not.

The price for the 1978 FR Disc master 47201-60050 is even worse than the one for my 75'. Sheesh, $527. Improving quality of life is a core Toyota principle. These current prices from the OE suppliers and distributors instead improve the quality of life for the seller. A key tenet of the Toyota...

Just don't do like the heeps and get bead lock wheels that are only bead lock on the outside! LOL

The angled geometry of the pistons is one feature I wanted to get back to by using the OEM parts.
