Wanted Early (62) FJ40 clutch and brake master cylinders.

I've purchased 3 master cylinders hoping to get what I have (or something that at least fits in my truck) with nothing but issues. I purchased 2 Centric 130.44730 as this forum suggests will fit and I get a completely different part. I also purchased one from Man A Fre that said it would fit any 40 before '70, also didn't fit.

I have the tin cup style clutch master in my truck and cannot seem to source a replacement. Does anyone have one lying around? Bonus if you have a brake master as well. TIA.

What is the problem you are having? Is the fittings from the hard line to the master?

on my 64, I used Spector Off Road part # 018-01-KIT for the clutch master, it comes with the master(its a latter model part), new hard line, soft line and new slave. it gets rid of the 9mm(or were they 11mm) fittings. this also cured my hard clutch pedal because the master and slave were different bore sizes
its the 1st one listed on the page

for the brake master I am pretty sure I used Toyota OEM part# 47200-35011, which has the original 9mm fitting., I did not have to change the hardline.

I actually have two NOS tine cup masters but holding onto them.

Got my pair of Toyota brake master cylinders today. Part #47200-35011. Proceeded to convert one for use as a clutch master first. Here is a comparison of the new with the bare body of the old. Note that the new does have the TEQ logo cast in, although not as legible as the original.

To convert a new brake master cylinder into a faux tin cup clutch cylinder you need to salvage the tin cup (with the hollow mounting bolt and washers) and the end cap with the female 11mm fitting from the old cylinder. You need a 19mm socket and extension to remove the tin cup, and a 38mm wrench...

Thread '1967 fj40 master cylinder'

Apr 25, 2018

Looking for some help with master cylinder replacement on my 67 fj40, it has the very small brake lines and i can not find a size for the fitting that screws into the master cylinder. I want to use an adapter fitting so as to use a master cylinder with 3/16th standard fitting. has anyone done this and could you give me a part # or just what the size is for small brake line fitting.

Correct

The fittings up until 69 model year (so mid-68 build) were 9mm. All over everything. They switched to 10mm and haven't looked back. Don't bungle up yours as they don't come up for sale often. Either that or there's just a bunch on dusty shelves - it's a common swap for parts availability.

If your's passes the fingernail test for rebuild, that's where I'd go.
