Hi,
I have a RHD Lancia Fulvia Series 1 Ralle S.
I've at last found some time to complete the overhaul of the car and as such my attention is turning to the last major element, the brake system.
Several years ago I had to buy a LHD brake master cylinder (still as new) together with a 10mm (approx) conversion plate. I always knew that I would require a lengthened push rod that fixes onto the brake pedal and activates the brake master cylinder.
Are lengthened rods available now and if so who may supply these please?
If not has anyone else converted the original rod and if so was it an easy task?
I'd appreciate any help please in this respect
Nick.

Hi Nick
I am not an expert about Fulvia nor in brake system, but I have bought on this site the CD copy of parts and repair manuals, and it is frequently a great help. I own a coupé S1 rallye S (LHD as I am in France) and I wonder if there is a different mounting of parts in RHD cars. (no conversion plate mentioned on the manuals)
Please see the copy of the parts manual. Nothing about different rod between pedal and master cylinder. I just presume that the master-cylinder is just in frond of the pedal, even in RHD cars ?
I hope you will get a solution for your ptoblem.
Best regards
Georges

Re: Brake servo rod
Hello Nick,
you can lengthen the rod by welding spots on the top end. Means to let cool down again and again
after some welding spots.
Step by step and then rework it.
Very easy and not a big item.

New RHD master cylinders are no longer available, while LHD ones are pretty easy to obtain.
The RHD and LHD master cylinder have the mounting holes in different places, meaning the LHD cylinder will not sit level in RHD car. The adaptor spacer corrects this, but means you need a longer push rod. Outlets are also on opposite sides, but I found it pretty easy to reroute the brake lines a little to enter on the other side.
