Re: Brake master cylinder

Sorry - we were moving over the weekend so I've been offline -

Two things:

a) During the move, I found the actual brake engineering release strategy, with all of the master cylinder specifications and options (for the 1974 models). As soon as I can, I'll post that up (it will help choose the right m/c).

b) In general, there are several ways for a master cylinder to not work -
* bore size
* flare type (ISO vs English)
* output side (inboard vs outboard)
* output location (ie, front brakes in front, vs front in rear)
* quick take up vs non quick take up (affects flange size)
* reservior size (affects underhood packaging)
* there may be more that I am forgetting right now

You'll need to comprehend or overcome these variables in order to determine if that m/c works for you.

More to come -
