Upgraded Master Cylinder

I installed all of the components to my new dual cylinder master cylinder. As I mentioned before, the components requires were no extensive. I bought the master cylinder and reservoir from California Import Parts and the tubing and gromments I bought at Theresa's store.

I mounted the reservoir on the left side of trunk just forward of the gas tank leaving enough room in the event that the tank ever need to be removed. I fabricated a bracket to held the reservoir from an left over floor pan ledge material. I used 1/2" clear tubing and drilled two holes just left of the gear box access cover and installed grommets to protect the tubing from the holes. For added security, I installed hose clamps at both ends of the tubing and then tie-wrapped the tubing to the ridged brake tubing.



It looks clean and functional. Just too bad it will be a while before I find out how well it works. More photos here.
