1939 Lagonda V12 master brake cylinder

The braking system of the Lagonda V12 was a sophisticated, precisely designed structure even in its time, however, over the decades, the condition of the master brake cylinder deteriorated significantly. Due to the corrosion of the inner surface, the aging of the seals and the operational uncertainty, a complete renovation became necessary.

The work process began with complete disassembly, then continued with a careful cleaning and inspection of the inside of the cylinder. I replaced the defective, worn parts with remanufactured parts, and the inner surface of the cylinder was restored by fine polishing in order to ensure proper operation. I replaced all the seals and spring elements with modern parts that match the original design.

The refurbished master cylinder now works reliably and smoothly again, ensuring the original efficiency and safety of the Lagonda V12 braking system. This meticulous work is an important step towards the complete restoration of the car, so that the historic vehicle can once again function in its former glory.
