I recently purchased a brake cylinder bracket for my 02 wrx from ebay (£29.99 in total)

When it arrived after what seemed like ages, the instructions were printed in Japanese and the pictures were very fuzzy.

Firstly a word of warning of you are thinking of buying this item from ebay!!!!

Secondly......... does anyone have instructions how to fit this that are in our native English language? I hope someone on here is more help than the idiots selling the item in the first place!

Cheers

Hmm, may not be the same, but I've fitted one of these to my classic. Think I've still got the instructions (it's the one from MRT) somewhere at home. If not, I think I remember how it was done. Don't have any way of getting them on line at the mo though.
How far from Nottingham are you?

Im going to the Robin Hood Rally this weekend if you are going?
I work in Beeston and I seem to remember your from that part of town.

PM me if you like, i'd be dead chuffed if you managed to find the instruction!

Hi Ricardo,

I bought exactly the same item and got it fitted from a local garage. It was a little bit of messing about but the difference in braking in very noticeable. the pedal feel is greatly improved

Where else can I get one? Not a fan of e-bay.

Tony G was kind enough to show me his bracket on his classic. It was slightly different but made it easier to see how it was fitted. He told me he got his from ScoobyMania in Nottm.

Like I said before, I would NOT recommend the seller on ebay.

Thanks again Tony!

I got mine off e-bay no probs. Things can take a while from Hong Kong. Even recommended to a mate then he got me to fit his. I agree instructions in English would have been nice but the pictures (even though not brilliant) and a bit of thought quite easy to fit. Made a great improvement to the brakes which already had goodridge hoses fitted.

Fitted it on Saturday in the freezing cold. Its made some difference, but not as much as i thought it would, next step is braided hoses.

I need to take some pics to show how i fitted it. It was well easy in the end! Still a money grabbing idiot on ebay though!

If this helps. On the offside strut tower in a similar position to the fuel filter on the nearside you should find two threaded holes. This is where the smaller piece bolts to the car. To fit the large section you need to remove the black cover over the boost solenoid and the two connecting blocks. The bracket fits behind the bracket removed using the bolt holes on the strut tower. With both pieces take it easy with the bolts the last thing you want to do is strip the threads. Where the small and large piece meet with the larger piece resting on top of the smaller piece you put a bolt through from ther bottom of the bracket into the nut welded onto the large bracket. Then fit the large bolt and locking nut through the end of the large bracket and tighten up finger tight onto the end of the brake master cylinder, as you tighten locate the aluminium disk between the end of the bolts and the end of the master cylinder. I will take a picture of mine tomorrow and post it if no-one else has.

Anyone got a link to the ebay seller as i have been thinking of getting one of the brackets.

Cheers

ricardo_wrx

Out of principle, i wont send you the link as his service was so poor!

Another vote for braided hoses - really noticed the difference when they were fitted.
