Hey guys,

This is my first year on brakes and I’m looking into Master Cylinders for our pedal box. I’ve found that a variety of brands have the size requirements I’m after (~13mm diameter) for both push and pull type master cylinders. We currently use pull type Master Cylinders and to date haven’t had any significant problems with them apart from a few small problems with possibly leaking air. If my understanding is correct, the major difference between push and pull type cylinders is the packaging. Are there any other reasons for choosing a push or pull type? Has anyone had any bad experiences with either type?

Any advice is much appreciated.
