49 master cylinder

Anyone recognize what MC this is? It is on my 49 wagon.

Just discovered the brake light had never been hooked up by the prior owner! Not a good assumption to assume it will work. Have to add a brake light switch. It had a mechanical switch but never hooked up. Searched the EZ wiring harness and found the brake switch wire this morning.

It looks like a universal after market copy of a late 60's Corvette cylinder.
They are available in several bore sizes, so if replacing, check or match the bore.

Boy, I would LOVE to see the "late 60's Corvette" that had a M/C looking anything like this one. MAYBE late '90s! DD

For the all knowing, go to Google or Eckler's site & look at '68 - '72 Corvette master cylinder.
I can't get it transferred.

Corvette (in the late 60s, early 70s) should look something like this.

Seem to recall that a number of years ago a conversion kit supplier offered a master cylinder with outlets on both sides to allow easier fitting of outlet tubes.
The unused ones were plugged.
