Brake Master Cylinders? Aluminum?

[Tman]

Here is a question for ya. Is there any Factory type brake master cylinder made of aluminum OTHER THAN the Chrysler? I am looking for an MC that I can polish up all nice and shiny. Any ideas? It needs to be a dual master cylinder. Thanks

Hay TMan-1980-81 Ford LTD fullsize car 1-1/8" bore/ alum with steel lid.lines exit on frame side when master is under car facing rear............ some were also cast iron so you may have to look at different stores

mid 90 pontiacs and corvettes have alu too - but with none good lookin plastic reservoir

Gerling(sp?) and Tilton.

Factory type, 2 bolt horizontal mount. Tilton and the other race companies use a two bolt vertical mount. I will take some of these ideas and see if the Ranger and others come in the right bore size.

How about this one. It comes from a 93 BMW M3, pretty easy to get one over here and kind of a high performance brake system. If I can help you, just let me know.

[Tman]

Thanks Baumi. I got the credit card system working. Your headers will ship this week. Shall I put em as used parts $40 on the paperwork? What about insurance?

hey T, we use the ford ranger stuff, 85 to be exact, 1in bore. the factory ford MC's are alum, and the repros are not alum.

if you want two piece, 86 ranger went to alum master with plastic res... Ill try to get pics of each today

[Tman]

Cool Greg thanks! On another note, I went and saw my 54 wagon today..........SOLID! I will try to look into the Ranger thing.

Tman: the Ranger M/C they are talking about is for Power brakes and Drum/Disc. This is the same one I had trouble with on my T..Butch

Yes, I know now, this question was a couple years back. We have since installed a similar aluminum one off of Grenadas on drum/disk cars. Gotta get the bore size right though.............ALWAYS!
