1953–1976 C1–C3 Corvette Master Cylinder Push Rod Rubber Boot 5456779 - OEM Number(s) (5456779)
Restore correct sealing and protection at your Corvette brake master cylinder with this reproduction nitrile rubber push rod dust boot built to original specifications.
The master cylinder push rod boot on a C1, C2, and C3 Corvette shields the brake pedal push rod from dust, moisture, and debris at the back of the master cylinder. Over decades of heat cycling and exposure the original rubber boot deteriorates, cracks, and loses its sealing ability — leaving the push rod and master cylinder bore vulnerable. A small part with a critical protective function.
This reproduction push rod boot is fully molded from high-quality nitrile rubber to original specifications for a precise, factory-correct fit on 1¼ inch bore diameter master cylinders. Nitrile rubber construction delivers superior resistance to brake fluid, heat, and wear over the original rubber compound.
Please note: Fits 1¼ inch bore diameter master cylinders only — confirm bore diameter before ordering.

Because Details Matter:
The push rod boot is one of those parts that does its job invisibly until it fails — and when it does the master cylinder bore is exposed to everything the road throws at it. This reproduction nitrile boot restores correct protection at the back of the master cylinder and keeps the brake system sealed the way it was designed to be on every C1, C2, and C3 Corvette.
