AP Racing master cylinder, 17.8 mm diameter, on a spherical bearing
The AP Racing master cylinder (Ø 17.8 mm) with a spherical bearing, part number CP7855-91PRTE, is a push-type model designed for single-circuit competition hydraulic systems. Its one-piece piston and rod assembly and its extra-short stroke before the fluid supply is cut off contribute to the system’s efficiency.
The hard-anodized aluminum alloy body is equipped with a protective bellows. Mounting is via a spherical bearing at the rear of the master cylinder.
