Lockheed master cylinders

Post by unclewilly »

750GT 1974. I have the original round lockheed master cylinder and caliper. All very nice condition other than seals.
Can I get replacement seals? Or do I need to upgrade to a brembo? and which one??
If I want to upgrade the lockheed caliper. Can you confirm that its the P108 I need?? is there a prefered master cylinder with this caliper?

Hi Keith, Yes the P108 is the direct replacment and I'd advise the 12mm master cylinder - both of which I have in stock

Brakes for 750GT

Post by unclewilly »

Thanks Steve. It sounds like this is the option I will go for. I am scratching my head a bit though. Someone has injected confusion in me by talking about diameters of calipers to diameters of master cylinders??
Should I find the seals, would the lockheed caliper be compatible with the lockheed master cylinder??

I don;t know about lockheed brakes, but I do know that a P108 caliper [as well as the F08 caliper] with a BREMBO rec 12mm master cylinder works well on a 750GT or SPORT. I have installed and rode to note the feel.

Found a useful site! www.apracing.com. Gives you the classic masters and calipers. Through this and abit of running around I have managed to get the seals, pistons and diaphrams....totally restored original brakes!
