Anybody know of a good affordable source for a 16mm (rectangular bar mounted) Master Cylinder Rebuild Kit?

£29.00, around $46, at Motobins...  Your pretty limited on where this can be purchased from.   I wonder if anybody has tried Magura for rebuild parts?

Justin, why would you say he's limited?
It's $66.00 here in the states.
as a matter of fact I'll sell this one. It's brand new, in the package.
$48.00 includes the shipping to San Diego.
I'm out in Joshua Tree.
mail me at wirewrkr@gmail.com

Any time you are tied to a specific supplier for a part your choices are extremely limited and usually expensive...

For Brembo caliper and master cylinder parts, rebuild kits and complete assemblies at competitive prices, check out Bevel Heaven... as in Ducati, or MG Cycle... as Moto Guzzi.

Thanks Monte,

Those are two links I'll keep in my favorites since they are new to me.  I'm assuming the M/C is an ATE' since the OEM dual disc setup is ATE' but I could find no manufacturer markings on the rectangular M/C unit except for the spool (piston-bore) size.  Maybe something new will be exposed when I get the unit cleaned-up. I found a new rebuild kit from wirewrkr, now to acquire a new reservoir o-ring.  This is a secondary extra M/C unit I'm hanging on to as a spare so I'm in no hurry to get the rebuild done.  

Thanks guys for all the info and help.

BMW master cylinders are made by MAGURA of Germany.

Do they make a round resevoir 15mm master cylinder?

My 16mm is too much.

Thanks in advance.
