Re: master cylinder
 

will that work fine with drum brakes? i do you fill it from the top...it seems like it would be under the seat...

Re: master cylinder
 

You can use one of those and they work good.You can use one of our remotor resv and remote filler caps we make that will allow you to fill it up from the firewall and make it alot easier to inspect.

Re: master cylinder
 

do you have a diagram on how it is hooked up...i don't get how it fills from firewall...

Re: master cylinder
 

This is how it will be set up with our remote resv and remote lid

1.On the firewall on your truck this is where our Remote dual resv will mount.

2.On the master on your frame you will remove the factory master lid and install our remote master lid.

3.There will be some an fittings that come with our kit and these will thread into our resv and remote lid.

4.You will run some brake lines off these fittings and the lines will go from the remote resv on your firewall to the remotoe lid on your master.

The remote resv needs to be above the master and this is for gravity feed.

You can send us a e-mail and we can send you some more info if you would like

it is a good idea, but how do you tell when you hit the max level...
