You can ensure reliable, high-performance stopping power with the Mastodon Tandem Oval Brake Master Cylinder. Engineers designed this unit to combine modern safety standards with custom aesthetics. It features a lightweight aluminium body and a large 1-1/8″ bore size. Consequently, it delivers the high fluid volume that modern disc brake systems require. The sleek black or chrome finish immediately provides a clean, custom look for your engine bay. This is an essential upgrade for you if you convert to power brakes or 4-wheel discs. As a trusted supplier in Alberton, Gauteng, we deliver safety-critical components and custom parts across South Africa.

Key Features

• Tandem Oval Design: This configuration provides two independent hydraulic circuits. This offers a critical layer of safety redundancy.
• Lightweight Aluminium Body: Manufacturers craft the body from durable, corrosion-resistant aluminium. This reduces weight at the front of your vehicle.
• 1-1/8″ Bore Size: This large bore size pushes a high volume of fluid. Therefore, it is ideal for use with power brake boosters and large four-wheel disc brake setups.
• Dual Port Sizes: The unit features specific 9/16″ and 1/2″ outlet ports. This allows you to correctly separate and plumb the front and rear brake circuits.
• Durable Black/Chrome Finish: The anodized black finish resists corrosion and high temperatures. This provides a stealthy, custom look that complements any engine build.
• Universal Applications: Builders often choose this style for hot rods, classic trucks, and custom vehicle projects. It mounts easily to most universal brake boosters.
• Nationwide Shipping: We deliver performance components across South Africa.
• Local Expertise: We understand the needs of South African automotive enthusiasts.

Why Choose the Mastodon Tandem Oval Brake Master Cylinder?

This master cylinder offers superior performance because it balances high fluid output with lightweight construction. Older single-reservoir master cylinders lack safety redundancy. They simply cannot provide the volume required by modern calipers. By choosing this 1-1/8″ bore tandem cylinder, you significantly improve your braking feel and ensure compliance with modern safety standards. Furthermore, the sleek black/chrome finish ensures your brake components look as good as they perform. Ultimately, you invest in a critical component that delivers reliable, firm pedal response every time you drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the advantage of a 1-1/8″ bore?
   The 1-1/8″ bore provides a high volume of fluid. This volume is necessary to quickly move the pistons in modern multi-piston disc calipers. It results in a firm, confident brake pedal feel.
2. Is this master cylinder for disc or drum brakes?
   This master cylinder is typically for power-assisted disc/drum or four-wheel disc brake systems. You must confirm your vehicle uses a power booster, as the large bore size requires one.
3. What does “tandem” mean?
   Tandem means the master cylinder uses two separate pistons and two separate fluid reservoirs. This design ensures that if one hydraulic circuit fails, the other circuit continues to function.
4. What fluid should I use?
   You should use a high-quality DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. We always recommend that you consult your brake component manufacturer’s specifications.
5. Will this work with a power booster?
   Yes, this large 1-1/8″ bore size is specifically designed to work effectively with a vacuum or hydraulic power brake booster.
6. What are the 9/16″ and 1/2″ ports for?
   The two different thread sizes prevent plumbing errors. You use the larger port for one circuit (typically the front discs). You use the smaller port for the other circuit (typically the rear discs or drums).
7. Do you offer nationwide shipping?
   Yes, we offer fast and reliable nationwide shipping across South Africa. You can order from anywhere in the country. All orders are processed and shipped from our location in Alberton.
