Application

This master brake cylinder is designed for application on Dodge WC series military lorries (½-ton, ¾-ton and 1½-ton variants) from the Second World War period. Fits models with the original hydraulic 4-wheel drum brake system.

Installation notes

Mounting via triangular fixing pattern on the chassis. Ensure correct adjustment of the push rod free play (minimum 0.025 inch / approximately 0.6mm) to prevent brake drag. Check that the reservoir is not overfilled — approximately 10-13mm below the rim is sufficient.

Compatibility

Different types of master brake cylinders exist for the Dodge WC series: the flat-top type (used in some applications) and the slant-top type (standard on ¾-ton models). Check which type fits your specific vehicle. Note: modern reproductions may show variations in reservoir position and may interfere with the steering box. When in doubt: compare with original.

Historical context

The Dodge WC series lorries were equipped with a modern hydraulic brake system on all four wheels for the time, an important safety feature for military transport vehicles. The standard master brake cylinder was part of the proven Dodge brake system that was also applied in later M37 series lorries.
