I discovered the other day that the top mounting bracket on my rear brake master cylinder has broken clean off, which was annoying! Luckily there are many trials coming up anytime soon so it's not a huge problem!

Do you think it can be welded back on or is it not worth the hassle of it potentially breaking again and again, in which case a brand spanker would be better. Personally, I think a new one would be better in the long run but, if it can be welded and guarenteed that it won't break again i might go for that. Anyone know how much a new one is?

Cheers

I bought a new one not that long ago and it was about fourty quid all in with post and vat.

You could get the broke one welded up and use as a spare,,,but i would put a new one on just to be sure.

Did it break because you hit it, or are the mountings not in line putting stress on the bracket ?

If the latter, you will need to align the mountings or pack as required to stop this happening again.

it broke after landing upside down after a crash. Oops!
