Default Brake Master Cylinder help

My brake master cylinder is now leaking on me and I have to order a new one, the guy who has it last said he did a GSR brake conversion for it, do I need to order an integra master cylinder or are they the same thing?

You didn't tell us what kind of car you have so how could we answer your question?

Short answer, the brake lines come out of the Integra MCs in a different position. Do some image searches to see what you have.

Oh sorry, It's a 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback

If both lines don't come out the side like this, you've probably got an Integra MC. If the previous owner only did the rears but left the fronts, they may not have touched the booster, MC, or prop. valve.

Don't just assume. Do some extra image searches. I don't want you ordering the wrong part.

Post a picture of your set-up.

Also check the side of the Master Cylinder, it should have a stamping/casting of the size; with that brake booster, it should have a 1" on it. But there is also 13/16, 7/8 and 15/16 sizes.

That Prop Valve also has a stamping of number: 3030, 3040.

Here is a picture of the Master Cylinder on the left side of it, it has the numbers 184. I'm trying to find a stamp on the brake booster but haven't found one yet.
