Brake Master cylinder rebuild kit

I am trying to locate someone who can sell me a brake master cylinder rebuild kit or a brake master cylinder for my 1981 Rx7 FB. I have found no-one in Spain. Can anyone help? The problem also is i have no way of recognizing what the part numbers are. It has two feeds from the side and one from underneath with no bleed nipple. Help please!!

I recently was looking for a master cylinder rebuild kit as well. What I found was that you can purchase a reman master cylinder for around $30 and the rebuild kits are hard to come by and are more expensive.

The drum brake master cylinders are around $75 reman and the rebuild kits are cheaper.

This is disk brake master cylinder:



This is drum brake:




You will notice they are very close to the same but the front line outlet has an extra hex shaped plug in the end.

If you need, I will be happy to purchase one and ship it to you.

That sounds great but from the pictures it looks like i am a hole short. I have three holes for the brake lines. 2 on the side and 1 underneath. And if you are sitting in the car the 2 are on the right of the master cylinder. If they have a a replacement for mine that would be great but i need the right one for this car. Or am i just looking at the pictures all wrong. Do you have an email address for them?

link to a thread of me fixing my leaking bmc with lots of pics https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/disappearing-brakes-465602/page2/ (post 39)

here is a copy and paste of my post in another thread. part numbers so you can look it up at part stores maybe rockauto.com will ship to spain or mazdatrix or maybe even your local mazda dealer?

So I just decided to make a list of the part numbers people can directly search for so there is no confusion to getting the right or wrong part.

A1 CARDONE 111962
AC-DELCO 18M266
AUTOSPECIALTY M-53103
AUTOSPECIALTY M-53103E
BECK/ARNLEY 072-8108
BENDIX 11962
CARQUEST E105901
CENTRIC 130.45103
CERTIFIED FM2056
DOORMAN M39489
EIS E105901
ITM 25-01102
LUCAS GIRLING 211129
MAZDA OEM FA18-43-400
NAPA (BRAKE) 39489
QUALITEE 66 74 220
RAYBESTOS MC-39489
WAGNER F108037

Remember this is reference part numbers only for 1981-1983 GSL Rear Disc Brake Master Cylinders. Also always verify to whoever you order your parts from that its for a 4-disc brake 1981-1983 RX-7. Hope this helps anybody looking to replace theirs!
btw i heard that the hex nuts at the end just meant that the BMC was rebuilt already and tapped the old holes to bigger sized tapped holes for new threads

That was just a picture link from a local part house. www.advanceautoparts.com
You are describing the normal ports on all the master cylinders. This one included.

Like I said, see if you can find one and if they will not ship to you let me know.
