Non ABS master cylinders

[Jean]

I gotta order one in the next day or two from BMA and not sure if there is anything else out there other than the early 318i/325e/325i . I've read about getting one from the 7series and such but those are all ABS units, do I have any options here ?

Just want to make sure I order the right one. This will be used with 325i front and rear brakes.

you can use a MC that was on a car with ABS if you split the front port with a tee. Not hard.

What is the function of the 3rd port on the non abs MC ?

Well, I think I'll play it safe and order an early 325i non abs MC today.

there are 2 ports for the fron and one for the rear

on the ABS MC's there is one for the front and one for the rear. Splitting the front will give you the same bias.
