What is a tandem master cylinder?

A tandem master cylinder has two separate fluid reservoirs and internal circuits. This design provides a critical safety feature, as one circuit can still function if the other develops a leak.

What does the 15/16 inch bore size mean for my brakes?

The bore size affects the amount of hydraulic pressure generated. A 15/16 inch bore is a common size for performance applications, offering a good compromise between pedal effort and the force sent to your calipers or wheel cylinders.

Does this master cylinder come with brake fluid?

This master cylinder is typically sold without brake fluid. You will need to purchase the appropriate brake fluid for your system and fill and bleed the master cylinder after installation.
