Modern Motorsport Master Cylinders Designed to Replace Older Girling Designs
Upgrade Motorsport has developed a modern range of Girling master cylinder direct fit replacements engineered specifically for modern motorsport, race car, rally, drift, track day, Formula Student, and performance automotive applications.
For decades, Girling master cylinders have been widely used throughout the motorsport industry due to their compact design, proven mounting dimensions, and compatibility with many pedal box systems. However, many original Girling units and lower quality Girling-type alternatives available today still utilise older sealing technology, imperial hydraulic fittings, and outdated manufacturing standards.
Upgrade Motorsport recognised the need for a higher quality modern alternative that retains the original Girling flange fitment while delivering improved reliability, modern hydraulic compatibility, and professional motorsport performance.
Our direct replacement master cylinders are designed to offer improved durability, smoother operation, modern dual piston seal technology, and lightweight construction while maintaining straightforward installation compatibility with existing Girling fitment systems.
Available Bore Sizes
Upgrade Motorsport offers the popular motorsport trilogy of master cylinder bore sizes:
0.625 Bore
0.70 Bore
0.75 Bore
These sizes are commonly used throughout motorsport hydraulic brake and clutch systems to fine-tune pedal feel, hydraulic pressure, and brake balance.
