Hi Guy's I'm looking for advice,
I have a 92 LJ78 import from Japan, its the LWB 4 wheel disc version with the 2.4l turbo diesel. Unfortunately the brake master cylinder decided to let go the other day and even more unfortunate is that it appears to have been leaking for a while and has destroyed the booster as well. We have tried to reseal the MC but its scored and beyond being salvaged without a resleeve. Cut a long story short, the factory master cylinder has been discontinued or only available through Toyota directly at bonkers prices (€2500 + for MC + booster) and long lead times. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a similar issue and what parts did they use to fix (i.e. other vehicle/model etc). I was looking at possibly using a 90 series booster and MC as the bulkhead bolt pattern looks the same and the MC pipe locations look pretty similar. The two issues I see are: the MC is a 1" bore and not 15/16 like the original, also all the 90 series stuff is for ABS systems, I don't think this would cause to big of a difference but I'm no expert here either. I'm really at a loss here as I can find the bits for the rear drum models but not the disc/disc setup. Appreciate any help, suggestions or advice going.
