Cling's makes a wonderful master cylinder kit that bolts in to your car. No butchering necessary. http://www.clingsaftermarket.com/add...=5000&subcat=1

As has been said, a lot of work for not much gain, even a deficit if the car is not used much because hydraulics can seize up through lack of use.

One must understand the difference between a brake rods and brake lines ! I do not consider my wifes 2015 a classic or a antique but her close encounter coming to a red light and bong brake pedal to the floor her quick thinking was emergency brake which is mechanical thats positive. A side from rust prone brake lines, she blew a brake hose. In my book, these hoses are no where the quality of real hydraulic hoses. |

Re: Need pictures.
Many mount the M/Cyl on the right side and use the original cross shaft to actuate it.
