Re: master debate
That is the cap from a 90 ZR-1 and all other L98 cars from 90 and earlier, I'm not 100% about the "earlier", but I know it's a 90. The newer master cylinders had a master with one large reservoir versus the 90 that had two small reservoirs. I'm just not sure when the change was made to the one large reservoir.

This seller has it, we also have it in stock, but a bit more $ than this. It's GM part # 10159854 |

Re: master debate
If you have trouble getting the caps post back because I think if I look I have spare caps....they used to come with the GM master cylinder rebuild kit. I am almost 100% sure I have them some place in my tool box or in my parts inventory.

Re: master debate
Hey folks. Let me know Tom if the caps you may have are identical to the earlier photos. I ordered a pair of 10159584 from gm. Too small! What gives? enclosed are photos of the actual Master cyl on the car, and the original caps vs the wrong ones (that everyone says should be right) with an OD of 2 1/16 ". The ID of my MC res are 2 and three sixteenths. The numbers on my original caps are PBR K818-013 RE2. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

Re: master debate
Okay, I am going to go dig out the caps. Then I'll try them on my M/Cylinder....if they fit I'll post back and get your mailing addy and send them to you.
Tom My caps are not like what GM sent you at all! Mine are just like what was on my M/C from the factory. I should add that I bought my rebuilding kit from GM before they went NLA on the kits.
