Default Re: What Master Cylinder

Coop, yes in the end it is because I want to. I have plenty of rubber on the ground, I'm using '35 wires with the widest possible tires on them. Here is situation... I had planned on doing the brakes next winter but the existing mechanical brakes became extremely unsafe so I had to do something now. I simply don't have the cash for my ideal set up but I was able to buy the '40 style set up quite reasonably from a club member. I know of a man to is working on 4 wheel disc brakes that has a working prototype and is working on getting the rotors manufactured (Covid has set him back 2 years). When he has a system available I am going to go with that As far as I know the primary thing that makes it impossible to do the disc brake job is the 5 1/2" bolt pattern (I'm talking about the rear). I have worked out how I can get a 7" booster in the space. I am thankful that this conversation has gone in the direction it has I have learned a lot of great stuff and I wouldn't change it if I could. But... nobody caught what my real purpose of starting this thread was that I was asking for advice about what master cylinder to use in order to use a remote reservoir. I guess I did not frame my question well. I have since figured out how to avoid that so it no longer matters. I posted my question here on the V8 section because when I ask a "cuz I want to I get bombarded by "experts" telling me why "if it was good enough for the last 90 years it's the only way to do it". That's my story.
