The master cylinder in my race car is toast, it is a 924 turbo unit. I am investigating alternatives as it seems the turbo unit is NLA or very expensive. I have considered the following:

- Resleaving what I have
- Removing brake booster and going to 2x master cylinder setup with a balance bar.
- Finding a lower cost VW replacement.

The 3rd option seems cheapest and easiest. The MC I am using now has a 24mm bore and this VW unit has a 25.4mm bore:

Does anyone know if it will fit the booster?

Or are there any other options that can be recomended.

Cheers

Daniel
