1967 Dunlop brakes

[Bruce K]

My Duetto is soon to leave the body shop and come home for completion. Out of service for 21 years, but used as garage ornament.
I have been unable to locate a rebuild kit for 3/4 inch Dunlop master cylinder from the normal suppliers. Can an ATE (or any other) mc be fitted, with a reasonable amount of modification, and hooked up to my pedal?

The Dunlop kit is listed on Alfa Stop's website.

You can use a later MC, but the pipe connections are different. But with changing them you can use an ATE, Bonaldi, Benditalia, whatever MC as long as it's physically the same.

I bought full MC, front, and rear kits from AlfaStop to rebuild the Dunlops on my 65 TI and so far so good. I had to buy new front pistons as mine were rusted beyond use.

The whole system can be swapped for a later ATE if you want, but in front you have to change spindle, disk, caliper, and in rear you swap the axle.

I don't want to jinx it, but I haven't gotten a quote back from Alfastop, this time or the last time. The parts I need do indeed appear in the online catalog, but it's a long way from Chambersburg to Tony's shop in UK.

Bruce,

If Tony Stevens is proving a little too slow, I would try contacting Past Parts (also in the UK). Although they do not have a specific online catalogue, they are likely to stock this kit. I've used their services in the past and they come recommended.

Good luck

Alex.

Folks in the UK tell me phoning Tony is best.

Tony Stevens at Alfa-stop is there, but he has some e-mail problems, but he will respond. I am sure.
