7/8in Master Cyl Only

The Tilton 7/8in Master Cylinder (model 74-875) is a precision-engineered hydraulic component designed for dedicated motorsports applications, race car builds, and high-performance street vehicles requiring a compact, lightweight brake system. Built by Tilton—an industry leader in motorsports brake technology—this master cylinder delivers the reliability and consistency that drivers demand when braking performance directly impacts safety and lap times. Whether you're upgrading a track-focused vehicle or engineering a custom brake system, this component serves as the foundation for a fully adjustable, responsive braking platform.

The 7/8 inch bore diameter and 1.100 inch stroke design deliver optimized hydraulic displacement for vehicles where progressive brake feel and shorter pedal travel are priorities. Manufactured from lightweight aluminum in natural finish, this master cylinder minimizes unsprung weight while maintaining structural integrity under repeated high-pressure cycling. The direct/remote reservoir configuration allows flexible mounting in space-constrained engine bays and custom chassis layouts, with a standard 2-1/4 inch flange mount that integrates cleanly into most race-spec brake systems. The compact footprint (4.35 x 2.15 x 11.2 inches) and modest 1.25 lb weight make it ideal for vehicles where every pound counts, from formula cars to tube-frame drag and road-race platforms.

Mechanics and fabricators building custom brake systems choose the Tilton 74-875 when they need a proven, repeatable master cylinder that pairs seamlessly with proportioning valves, bias adjusters, and modular brake line kits. This unit works best in applications where bore size and stroke are matched to tire grip, brake pad friction, and caliper displacement—critical variables in motorsports setups where brake balance directly affects corner speed and driver confidence. Installation requires proper pedal geometry, master cylinder retention hardware, and a correctly sized remote reservoir; professional installation or consultation with a brake system engineer is recommended to ensure optimal pedal feel and stopping consistency.
