andrewnagle1964 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I am interested in changing my "Master Cylinder" to an aluminum one. Does anyone know the bore size needed to match the original? And does anyone have any recommendations. I am looking at Wilwood's Aluminum Tandem Chamber Master Cylinder Wilwood Thanks and take care, Andrew Nagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark17357 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 What are the perceived advantages to going to an aluminum model? Thanks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewnagle1964 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 What are the perceived advantages to going to an aluminum model? Thanks.Jim Absolutely none other than the plastic one looks like.... :koolaid: and it doesn't go well with the Moroso aluminum tanks in my engine bay. Definitely a valid question though Thanks, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of GT Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Not just appearance, the Wilwood will deliver higher pressures to the slave cylinder and brake calipers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May want to try a fuse box, or atleast cover while your at it. Looking good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH53Driver Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I think it would make for a great addition to your already impressive engine bay. Any idea on how much it costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where in NC you are, but you should come out to the OBX for the get together next month (weekend of the 10th). There is a thread under the SE forum forum for it.

CH53Driver Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm actually stationed in the Norfolk area right now, but maintain my house down near Wilmington. Enjoy China and if you do get the brake cylinder post pics so we can see how it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WP64 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Does Wilwood make a MC with a hose barb from the fluid reservoir to supply brake fluid to the hydraulic clutch? If you look at the OE MC you will see the clutch fluid supply line on the rear drivers side of the fluid reservoir. I could be added to the Wilwood MC I'm sure, but just keep in mind that this would need to be done if you switched out to the Wilwood MC. Jay EDIT - You could also add a small seperate reservoir for the clutch fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
