Fit the master cylinder
Using a small bead of Loctite 577 on the thread,
attach the brass compression fitting to the
master cylinder and tighten firmly. Put a piece
of masking tape over the hole to keep foreign
objects out.
Drill the upper and lower mounting holes out to
5/16” (arrowed below), then, working through
the side access holes in the console, fit the brake
lever mount into the front of the console (refer
to drawing 6A027A0D-3 on the next page for
detail) using two hex head bolts in the top and
bottom holes, then mount the master cylinder to
the brake lever mount with the cap screws– the
photo at right shows the orientation of the
components: note that the brake lever mount has
the pivot hole to the top.
The photos below show the fitting of the brake
lever mount and the master cylinder to the
console.
