Perfect! Thank you.

I used to be a brake development engineer for General Motors. I decided I was going to put a plastic reservoir/aluminum master cylinder on my Chevelle, so I got out all my charts and drawings.

You would be surprised how many ways there are for a master cylinder to not fit!



(Ports on the inboard side/ports on the outboard side; ISO flares vs English flares; Piston bore, Quick take up vs non quick take up; front brakes supplied by the front vs front brakes supplied at the rear; reservoir size, etc. Geez).

Ended up putting another cast iron unit back on.

Thanks again -
