406 Master Cylinder

[tk1405 3]

Hi all,

i have heard that a 406 master cylinder is a good upgrade for a 205 gti. Which year and model 406 master cylinder is best and easiest to fit to a 205 gti 1.9?

any help would be good

many thanks

They're all the same.

 

Non abs will be 4 port, but a non abs 406 is pretty rare, though replacements may be 4 port and have two blanking plugs included.

What size are they?

 

Are the brembo equipped cars the same?

[welshpug 1,655]

All 23.8mm, they use 57mm lucas/girping calipers similar to the gti6 on most, iirc the total piston area of a coupe brembo caliper is less.

Rather than start a new thread I thought id add to this.

 

Can anyone help I have just brought a 2 port 406 mc with the 2 ports both on the same side. Which port will be for front and which for rear or does it not matter? Just before I make up the new lines

It doesn't matter which way round you connect the ports..
