I want the master cylinder to attach to the chassis like the original | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | If you're going to the disc/disc configuration then try a Corvette master. If going to a disc/drum configuration go with a mid 70's car or truck. You'll still need to fab a bracket to mount it to the frame or reinforce the firewall and install it there. You should also get an adjustable proportioning valve since the vehicle weights will differ from each other. Then there's the mounting of a booster to consider.......

I bought mine from Classic Performance Products.
