Default 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.


petehoovie , where are you?

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.
