The AP Racing master cylinder (Ø 25.4 mm), part number CP2623-96PRT160, is designed for hydraulic controls for brake and clutch systems in racing applications. Its compact design is particularly well-suited for installations where space is limited.
Its forged aluminum body is lighter than that of the cast aluminum version, offering a weight savings of 50 g. It features a vertical mounting flange, a short stroke before the fluid supply shuts off, and UNF imperial hydraulic threads.
This version features a master cylinder diameter of 25.4 mm - 1.00 in and a 160 mm 5/16 inn-24 UNF threaded push rod, measured from the mounting flange. Its YELLOW plastic clamp allows for quick identification of the diameter.

Mounting and Connections
Check the mounting, connections, and alignment of the control unit. The 160 mm dimension refers to the length of the rod from the mounting point, not the length of the body. The shaft thread is for the mechanical connection; it is separate from the hydraulic threads.
Master cylinders are individually adjusted during manufacturing: do not interchange rods, pistons, or internal components between different assemblies.
