need a master cyclinder cap

My cap on my master cylinder was frozen on and when removing it I punctured it while using a punch. Where can I buy a new one? The master cylinder is good just not the cap.

You could try the numerous reproduction parts vendors lick Dennis Carpenter, Mac's or Job Lot, maybe even NAPA or other good quality parts store. Also, if you have a shop in your area that specializes in brake work give them a call and ask if they have the part or know of a place that does. A cap is a kind of generic part and might still be used on big trucks and industrial applications like a fork lift. Take the old cap down to one of these places and see if they can match it up to something in stock.

I recently switched master cylinders, I'll dig through the shop and see if I still have the old one. Where are you located?

They are available from most of the gougeyoureyesoutrespoparts places.

Here is a link to C&G (I am most familiar with them), they have them and they are $13.50

C&G Early Ford Parts, (online)

Open the link, select "Online" (on the left), then 32-56 Catalogue. In the search catagory select "Brakes" sub catagory "Master Cylinders" and 1955 (your year right?) and they are about the 6th item down.

Nice folks at C&G!

Good luck

I find it amazing that members of FTE continually send new members to SUPPLIERS that are NOT FTE sponsors, while GYPO joints like lmc get FREE advertising here every day.

If there were no sponsors that PAY to advertise here on FTE, there would be NO FTE.

FTE SPONSORS: MAR-K / BLUE OVAL TRUCK PARTS sponsors the very forum you are typing in / AUTO KRAFTERS / NATIONAL PARTS DEPOT / MAC'S ANTIQUE AUTO PARTS

If I was a sponsor here, I'd be royally p!ssed off inre to all the NON FTE sponsors typed *****-nilly on this site without a care in the world!

N-O-N-E = NONE.

I just knew someone was going to make a comment like this.

1A-2162-A is the original genuine Ford part number for the master cylinder cap.

The FORD DEALERS and obsolete parts vendors I listed have the original GENUINE FORD PART.

I only search for genuine Ford parts here on FTE, not aftermarket reproduction parts.

If any of the FTE sponsors would have had the GENUINE FORD PART, I would have said so.

It takes time to look up, then search for obsolete parts.

How many other of the 500,000 registered FTE members are doing this?

N-O-N-E = NONE!

I also type references to the FTE sponsors every day here on FTE.

Ford Dealer Parts Department sponsors: FTEpartsguy.com, y2kfordparts.com, directfordparts.com.

Used Ford parts sponsors: broncograveyard & mikestrucksalvage.

Plus...the other sponsors I listed above, or anyone else when applicable.
