Manual Master Cylinder?
I will be changing my cam later this year and will be losing the power brakes.
Which master cylinder (disc/drum) can I use? I want an alloy one for weight loss. I have looked at Wilwood but don't know which size to pick, calipers are '73 with HD rotors. Also I have seen non-power master cylinders from base models which looked an easy fit. What have you guys used?

Contact Wilwood tech department, and let them know what diameter caliper pistons, and what diameter wheel cylinders. They will point you in the right direction. Paul Baxter

Re: Manual Master Cylinder?
As an alternative, I run a Mopar type of tandem master cylinder in my Super Gas car. It has a 1 1/16" bore. The body is aluminum and the reservoir is plastic. You'll need to run a proportioning valved in the line to the rear brakes.
I just noticed you are in the UK...here is a link to the type I have: http://cachassisworks.com/p-373-alum...-push-rod.aspx
