I just purchased a Zink5 for autocross. It has been sitting for 2 years. One of the brake master cylinders is forzen. Any idea where I could get something like this?

Pegasus, Averill, SR, etc. They should all have them BUT.....soak it in a bucket of PB Blaster for a day or so and it will likely become "unfrozen".

that might free it up but I am sure unless you pass a hone thru it and smooth it out it will be full of pits in the main body of the cyl and junk. mark is correct you may lose control and hit some little Kid standing on the sidelines. so think of that child not your wallet ,If you can't fix it right . DON'T RACE IT skip that auto-x and go to the next one. You would feel terrible. Pete Cheney fv#06 NER
That's a good point and I probably should have mentioned that after you get the parts unfrozen you would have to assess whether you now have a disassembled master cylinder that can still be used with some new parts or if you have a disassembled master cylinder that is garbage.
I should have also mentioned that Dietmar at Quixote Racing (http://www.quixoteracing.com) only has Wilwood cylinders on his parts list but I would consider giving him a call. He might have Girling stuff also and he has been an incredible source of information and help for me.

If it's a 5/8" get a 1990 Nissan pickup clutch master cyl. They're inexpensive and available practically everywhere. And, other than a plastic cap, they look the same.
