Product Description

This polished aluminum automotive master cylinder (OEM 17-2965-0) delivers reliable hydraulic pressure control for VW-based dune buggies and Beetle models. Its 3/4″ bore diameter ensures consistent brake fluid displacement, supporting optimal braking performance in off-road and classic vehicle applications. The master cylinder operates by converting mechanical force from the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, activating the wheel cylinders for responsive braking.

Compatible with OEM references 00-1617-0, 17-2966-0, and EMPI 17-2966, this component suits Volkswagen Beetle Convertible (2011-) and aftermarket dune buggy builds. Hipsen offers custom master cylinder manufacturing with tailored logos, packaging, and surface treatments (polishing, painting, chroming). As a trusted brake parts manufacturer, we provide custom hydraulic booster packaging and OEM brake component customization under ISO9001/IATF16949 certification. Low MOQ and free samples available for wholesale partners.
