OK I.want to go manaul brake. What master cylinder is the easiest to do. Also do I need to modify the brake pedal Inside the car? Also I got 4.wheel disc.too thank.pics of your setup would be great.too thanks

A mid 90's-late model dodge pickup truck master cylinder is a good swap. Aluminum housing and plastic reservoir.

Agreed. Dodge master cylinder. Drill a new hole in pedal. Use instructions from aerospace or strange for proper distance.

Or buy a manual swap kit from any racecar place that deals mustangs. Team z, skinny kid, etc...

I heard the skinny kid kit.wasn't.good.? The pedal.ratio? .
on.my other fox I.had a.manual kit..didn't.mess.with the pedal.ratio ..but come.with rod thay was supposed to compensate for it.

With the.Dodge MC do I need.a alum plate.or.it.mounts to the org.booster.hoes. .and what about lines on the Dodge metric? Or.the same.size.lines. what model and year Dodge BTW thanks

The strange kit looks like a dodge master cylinder anyway. Piss on that stuff. It puts your lines toward the inner strut tower area. I just use a upr aluminum plate with a 79 model manual brake master cylinder from a fox. Simple, easy, works great and under $100.

X2, I always use the KISS theory (Keep It Simple Stupid!)! I picked up a manual brake pedal off of ebay, because it was simpler than modifying my old pedal.

Rich, is this the old square iron type?



I'm in need of a MC that is smaller than a Mopar type. Know of one? Are the aluminum ones on the Mustangs smaller?

Just ordered the M1931 from Auto Zone 12.93.

------------------

Not sure why this didnt pop up and let me know there was a post till now?


NO its an alum unit,lines come out on left side toward drivers side fender, shorter then the mopar and not as long . same size as a stock fox body.Works great.

Good info....The valve covers on the Torino are too close to the master cylinder. If that MC is smaller and will work on a disc/drum combo I'll order one!

x2 ordered one today $12.93 plus what ever the core will be if it has a core charge.

I went by to pick it up and they said the supplier was out of stock on them and he didn't see when I ordered.Went by NAPA they tried to give me a iron one for that part number

Oh yeah haven't posted same thing happened to me ended going to Advance and picking one up for 18.99. It's a different part number I can get it for you tomorrow if you want. Atleast the guy at the Advance couunter had enough sense to notice that the other part number was discontinued.

that would be great Eric

The Advance part number is 10-1931. It is aluminum but not the style with the plastic reservoir and comes with the pushrod. Core was $10.

What does it look like, I don't think I've ever seen an aluminum one that doesn't have a plastic reservoir. Pictures? Is this for disc/drum or disc/disc?
Gary

Looks just like the old style iron units but in aluminum.

Yep looks the same only aluminum.
