I tried to post this in parts for sale, but I couldn't put a price on it, and it would be buried there.
About the only things left on my 87 Turbo with ABS brakes that hasn't been rebuilt are the brake master cylinder and the vacuum booster. I performed the service manual tests and everything passed but still I'm a little concerned after 35 years that the brake master cylinder could go out in the future and where would I find parts. Turns out Toyota and Aisin produce a few parts under a company by the name of Advics. I was trolling eBay for a brake master cylinder and noticed that the part I was looking at had a Toyota Aisin embossed fluid tank. The ABS part number is BMT-360. The non-ABS part number is BMT-106 and costs a little less. The BMT-360 cost me $110 delivered including tax. (Rock Auto has better prices than what I paid, go there first.) The castings on the part are identical to the original one in the car. It's a made in Japan part. The only thing I need to get is the paper gasket from the dealer that fits between the master cylinder and the vacuum booster. That part number is 47275-24010 and costs about $2. Read the online manual for the installation procedure. The push rod has a zero clearance in the back of the master cylinder plunger. It wouldn't hurt to look at the clevis pin inside under the kick panel for wear and to grease it. It's is a good idea to bench bleed a new master cylinder to get the air bubbles out before installation. A flare nut wrench is the best tool to use on brake line nuts. I plan on doing a partial flush with fresh brake fluid in the old master cylinder to push any crud out of the lines before installing the new part so as to not contaminate it. I remove the old fluid from the old master cylinder with a syringe and hose to draw out the black settled crud first. I've had good experience with Valvoline Synthetic DOT 3 & 4 brake fluid. It has a higher boiling point than most. It's also good for clutch master cylinder fluid. Last year I got a dip type moisture tester on eBay to check the fluids. The brake fluid was ok but the clutch fluid was outside the limit and needed to be changed. Moisture can cause corrosion leading to brake failure or brake fade from boiling under high heat conditions.
Check out the pics! It's nice to find a Toyota made part at a reasonable price these days.
