Anyone got a front master cylinder for a single front disc setup for a zed?...not too bothered if it needs refurbishing. I'm building a `77 Z1000 special (Long, Low, Mean and Nasty...another drag zed in the projects section) and am only running a single disc setup to keep the look as period as possible for a drag bike. Cheers.

I'm sure I have one in the depths of the garage somewhere. I will have a look later on today and let you know.

There's some repros avail on ebay etc. from about £60ish for single disc.
If you don't have one to repair they might be a cheaper option as you won't need new internals and they come with bar clamps and lever. Have a look.
It's expensive and fiddly to replace the internals.

Whoops should have read the tread properly. Already sorted it seems.
