The problem is you don't know which is which! The casting number for FMC master brake cylinders is the same number for severl different MC and they are valved differently and have different strokes.
X-2 On NAPA, they can look up brake parts with just the casting number and they can have it brought in from afar! (price is usually reasonable too)
IF you find the right parts person! (have had some with no clue)
This methode of sourcing the MC caused a lot of problems for a number of FMC owners. In our case, it has now been sorted out and we know which PART NUMBER is correct for which coach based on serial number.
