Front brake master cylinder for my 76 3CL - correct part number!

[Laverdaton]

Can someone tell me what the correct number is (in the cylinder casting) for a my 76 3CL.
I don't want to buy the wrong part...

Where are you going to buy it?
New or secondhand?
Hard to find.

Hello, ta.

Can't tell you the number you're looking for, but you
need a PS15. I think 3 CL already had the one with
the plastic reservoir.

Bugger! it just came on eBay and was only 20 miles from me.
Now sold
I rang the guy and he said it was in a box of spares he got and the piston was seized in it.
Sold for ?40

I think if you want the bike to be correct as made it would have had the cast resevoir type master cylinder, and yes hard to get.

I think the cast front m/c ended with the 3C.
Any 3CL I have seen had the translucent reservoir.

 

[sfcpiet]

At least early 3CLs had the cast M/C.

PS, still no news, Grant.  Sorry.

My 3CL #4045 has cast m/c.

My 3CL based Jota #4720 has the translucent plastic reservoir.

My bike is #4921 - so quite close.
It was a BiN on eBay - I should have just bought it for ?40 - oh well.
I hesitated because I wasn't sure if it was a for a single caliper system.

I think I'll look out for a Honda SOHC750 master cylinder - at least it looks nearly the same and easier to get hold of.

Unless someone has a spare Brembo m/c lying around. I have a spare rear stainless mudguard and I consider a swap!

I think I have one on my 750 will check tomorrow morning, one would assume is the same and would be happy to swap
