Default Matco master cylinders from Van's...

Can anyone tell me the difference between these master cylinders:

BRAKE MAST.CYL.LEFT-1 MATCO 4/6/7/9/10/12
BRAKE MAST.CYL.RGHT-1 MATCO 4/6/7/9/10/12
BRAKE MAST.CYL.SLOT-1 MATCO 8/8A

I need a master cylinder for the left pedal on the pilot side of my -6, and I have an offer from someone for a SLOT-1, but don't know if it will work.

Thanks,

Not sure why these stand alone +BRAKE MAST.CYL.SLOT-1 MATCO 8/8A", hmmmm.

The others are the brake master cylinders that attach to your rudder pedal/brake pedal system. The reason for the "right" and "left" is based upon which particular brake pedal they are mounted to. The master cylinders are positioned next to each other (on the 9) so therefore have to have mirror mounts - hence the left and right. Been awhile since I built these but here is a picture.



Hope this helps.
