Post subject:  Redbore master cylinder?

I'm going to do a 73-76 disc brake swap up front, and am told I need a new MC to make it work right. I don't know about that, but I'd definitely be happier with a MC that isn't painted in heavy rust-so bad I'm afraid to clean it cuz I'll have only a wet rusty puddle left.

That said, I'm looking for a new MC. Can anyone comment on suppliers to avoid or suppliers you recommend, or have yourself used? I have a 4 door, manual brake, manual steering 69 Valiant.

Finally, has anyone out there tried Justsuspension.com's RedBore MC? I read about it, but CarCraft will pimp just about anything new, so I'm skeptical of some of the claims. I accept the article's stated 1/3 reduction in pedal pressure (how much the driver needs to apply to floor the brake), I'd just like to hear from someone who's used it.

Thanks all, for your thoughts.

Use a Raybestos #MC36412 (w/o power brakes) or MC36406 (w/power brakes). Easy to get, reliable, well matched to the system, not expensive, easy to mount...need more reasons to mess with super kustom dood aftermarket master cylinders?

I recommend the late model aluminum/plastic master cylinders. The OEMs switched years ago to aluminum/plastic because they don't rust and they are lighter.

DoctorDiff.com can set you up with the correct MC as well as the adapter plate. You can also get a heat shield for the MC and an adjustable pushrod if needed.
