1. Product Description
The A.B.S. Brake master cylinder (41743) is a heavy-duty, safety-critical hydraulic component manufactured by A.B.S. (All Brake Systems). It acts as the primary pressure-generating mechanism for the vehicle's braking system, converting mechanical force from the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure. Constructed from durable, warp-resistant cast iron to withstand extreme system pressures without fracturing, this cylinder is optimized for older TRW style configurations. It features a dual-circuit internal piston setup to ensure balanced, reliable braking safety even if one hydraulic circuit fails.
