Abstract

A master cylinder includes a housing (12) with a bore (14) receiving a pair of pistons (32, 34). A bearing (50) extends from the housing (12) to one of the pistons (32) to define a passage (65) communicating fluid to a pressure chamber (40). The bearing (50), the passage (65) and the pressure chamber (40) extend outwardly of the housing bore (14) to permit the length of the housing to be reduced.
