What dual master cyl will bolt up to the stock 4 bolts on the firewall? We are switching to discs using the stock spindles
IF you are thinking discs front and drum rears non-power, I think I once ran an early 70s Maverick MC in a sedan delivery. The front discs/spindles were '74 Mercury Montego & calipers. It has been a few years now but that is what I remember. Good luck, r
I remember using 1967-72 mustang or Cougar Disc/Drum Master Cylinder. Make sure you use the Correct Proportioning Block also. it will bolt to 2 of the four bolt holes.
I bought a nice new one on ebay, bolts right up 195$ Has a small booster for clearance. I don't recall the company, but he is on there all the time. I'm nowhere near using it yet. Mark
I took a factory plate off a firewall at the junkyard that changed it to the Mustang bolt pattern.Some mid 70 Ford product.

I run `74-`77 Maverick master cyls, for manual disks. The part is readily available at NAPA. The main reason I like it, besides that it works really well, is that the lines exit on the left side, instead of toward the engine.
Sorry to dig up an old post but... What do you do for the brake light switch?
Ron
Hello
I used a 1965 Mustang electric switch but had to use the push rod
that came with my 74 Mavrick Mstr cyl p/n wagner R83746. it has a flat end to make the switch operate. The original 57 ford brake push rod was round on the end and will not work
I'll try to find the p/n. got it at a parts store. less than $5
Works like a charm.
Use one of the top empty bolt holes to run the wires through the firewall.
If I could find the "Old" posts, the sw p/n is there
I'll try to post a pic of it mounted.

I used a 76 Granada Master cyl. It came with the flat end push rod (had to be lenghten 1/2") $16.00 at Auto Zone no core. Also used the Mustang stop lite switch as Ron has in previous post. You are not going to find a master cyl that has the 4 bolt mount. You use the bottom 2 holes to mount the master cyl .

There is a plate that adapts the two hole to the four on the firewall. I took one off a Ford at the junkyard.
I used a tri 5 Chev stop light sw. It's an adjustable push button that the brake pedal arm hits. Made a small
bracket for it and welded it. Also used the Mustang type MC with lines going away from engine.

Okay, thanks guys. I just happen to have a MC left over from a Mustang project that was never used with the rod on it.
