Jun 26, 2022 2 38-3 Beringer Master Cylinder Assembly Category: Brake System
As i decided to install the Beringer Brake kit for RV10, which includes new master cylinders, new parking brake valve, new braided tubing and the pressure regulator i had to remove the original MATCO VANS master cylinders and assembly the new BERINGER master cylinders.

Beringer Master cylinders need some final assembly work. Installation on the pedal sub-assembly is a bit tricky as the drawing doesn't consider the pedal master cylinder attach flange and the washers seem to be a little bit scarce in order to have perfect alignment. However i liked the bushing provided and the ball-end bushing and in general the higher quality of the parts compare to the standard MATCO cylinders provided by VANS.

Altough Beringer is suggesting to use normal nylon lock nuts, i believe i will use castellated nuts and drilled bolts as suggested in the original VANS setup.
I spent a couple of hours on the first master cylinder as i had to figure out the most appropriate washer combination.
Picture are still showing preliminary assembly with short drilled bolts....will replace before final assembly.
Assembly of the next three will be definitely quicker.

Master cylinders from beringer come in two versions. One for DOT4 brake fluid and the other for MIL Mineral brake fluid. MY VERSION IS THE MS-002N (MIL Mineral FLUID).
