EMPI Dual Circuit Brake Master Cylinder for VW Beetle 1967-1977, 20.6 mm Bore, LHD

Disc brake calipers need more fluid volume than drums, and this master cylinder's 20.6 mm bore moves more fluid to give a firm pedal with discs at the front or at all four corners. The dual circuit layout splits the system in two, so a failure in one circuit does not take away all braking. The listing title calls it a reservoir, but the part is the master cylinder itself; the reservoir is sold separately.
