Hi All. I bought a power brake set up that included the master cyliner and the booster. The master cylinder has four outlets, two on each side. I only need two of the four outlets, one for front disc brakes and one for drum rear brakes. Can I plug the two outlets on the side toward the frame and use the two that are exposed? What do you think?

Hy Rick in VA, it sounds like you have a universal type master cylinder, probably purchased from an aftermarket supplier. The instructions that came with it should confirm, but I think you should be able to use whichever ports are the most convenient, and plug the unused ones, hope that helps

There are ports on each side of the MC so you can choose. Just make sure you use a front and rear port and not both fronts or both rears. I know that may sound dumb, but dumber things have happened before.

Hi all,
I am looking for a company I can buy a stock master cylinder for my 1957 Chevy 3100 1/2ton truck. Is it still possible to buy one made in the USA? I see prices from $70 on up to almost $200. Thank you!
