1962 T-bird single to dual master cylinder

[62Tbird]

I am currently searching for the Wagner F64829 master cylinder. I am having the hardest time finding it online. Does anyone have any leads or have a unit they are considering selling?

I found one at Rock Auto Parts:

Thanks but that link is for the stock MC. If I can't find a dual MC with the flat reservoir cover, I may just keep it single MC.

Hello,

Rockauto's P/N: MC 64829 shows an equilivant to "Alternate/OEM Part Number(s): F64829."

Would the following be of any use, https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.ph ... sn=3&jsn=3 and https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/wagne ... inder,1836.

All the Best,

Jonathan

The problem with that part number is that it now includes the domed lid. I have searched for the flat ones for a friend of mine and even though they are pictured with the flat top, they come with the domed. I have had to send several back telling them that it does not match their "stock photo". I just don't think it exists anymore.

Hi Tom, thanks for chiming in. I will continue my search, if I find anything I'll post on here or pm you to help your friend.

I see that napa shows the flat top type of master in stock at my local store. M2056 At least that way I don't have to have it shipped in to see if its right!!

Confirmed Napa M2056 is a flat top MC.

I just looked it up and NAPAOnline.com says it does not fit.

I have encountered the "does not fit" message for the bullet bird on a few websites when the part did in fact fit. I'm leaning towards picking up the Napa part and checking the fit.

Fairly comprehensive guide including sizes and pic of NAPA ones http://napabrakes.ca/wp-content/uploads ... Dguide.pdf that shows pic, port sizes, etc. For M2056 see page 80 for specs. Mine arrived today and is a flat top. Thread sizes slightly different than original single master.

Has anyone successfully tried the M2056? Did you have to use different adapters on ports like a poster on their MC64829? Also see MC2040.
