The master cyl. is for a 67-68 firebird manual brakes. I wanted it
to look some what original. I had a friend of mine make me a wedge
out of a piece of alluminuim and I mounted my master cyl. on the top
bolts instead of the bottom ones for more clearance for the lines and
so I could run them inside of the fender wells so it would give that orignal
kind of look. Worked out pretty well. Theres more about it in the earlier
pages on this sight and pictures too.

Nice setup! Did you elongate the through hole in the firewall and is the pushrod at an angle! John

I used a hole saw and drilled another hole above.
It actually is about a 1/4 inch into the lower hole.
The rod to the master cyl. is straight to the brake
pedal with good alignment as there were two holes
on my brake pedal. So the geometrie is right on.

Car looks great! I'm not sure what look you're after but Champion makes a nice looking wheel for the money. http://www.cwibeadlock.com/dragrace.htm
