Ford Ranger bendix master cylinder

I am installing a Bendix Master Cylinder from a 1992 ford ranger that have been recommended by many.

Can anyone tell me the two fittings are they metric or standard thread ?

thanks

Re: Ford Ranger bendix master cylinder

It's been a while since I installed mine but I'm pretty sure they're metric. That said, what I did was take the mc to Advance Auto Prts and match up what I needed.

Re: Ford Ranger bendix master cylinder

MC for 92 Ranger per Rockauto site lists them as M10 X 1.0 & M12 X 1.0 which would be your metric bubble flare.

​If you are like me and don't have the tools to make the metric flare, MS once shared the idea of going to your local auto parts place and buying two straight pieces of tubing with the correct metric fitting (M10 & M12)(tubing sizes are the same for metric & standard).  While at the parts place, buy correct tube nuts for the prop valve.  Cut one end off, remove one metric fitting from the tubing, bend to fit, cut to length desired, slide on correct tube nut fitting to match your prop valve, flare to match prop valve, install, bleed, and drive it.

​My Autozone location had a much larger selection of brake tubing and fittings than its competitors.

Thanks, I think that is what I did on my coupe. It has a late model cobra master with the bubble flares.

Stinks though as I would like to have these in stainless

Ahhh, then I would source the stainless stock, bend it up, and take it to the shop that services my DD's.  He's got one of those fancy air gadgets that can make all flares of all types, first time, every time.  If I brought the bent tubes, tube nuts, and a dozen donuts, I could walk out with a finished product.

Re: Ford Ranger bendix master cylinder

It is much easier to make bubble flares on stainless tubing than to make SAE inverted flares.  You can simply use a metric tube nut and the first stage of an SAE flare to complete the bubble flare.

To me, stainless tubing is nice, but a waste of time and money, unless it is going to be polished and placed on a car used only for show.  Steel works fine for those of us who want to GO, or in this case, WHOA.


Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
