Aluminum under the floor brake MC

Is anyone using an Aluminum mastercylinder, under the floor mount? If so I would appreciate some of the particulars, like piston size, discs front only or four corners, adaptor, pushrod, etc.

Mike:

In my '45 Ford with Mustang II front suspension (Chassis Engineering brake kit for Mustang/Tbird calipers) & a 9-inch rearend, I'm using a Mustang II non-power master cylinder (Chassis Engineering adapter for '39-40 Fords, part #AS-2021) and a combination valve for a non-power brake Mustang II.

35-40,000 miles of trouble-free, solid-feeling, 100% Ford brakes.

Mike

Thanks Mike,
I will look up what Chasis Engineering has to offer. I currently have a Mustang dual chamber with 1 inch bore, no booster, with front discs by Wilwood (4 piston), and rear drums for 8 inch rear. It works well, but is very heavy. If the Chasis Eng. unit is 1 inch bore, or maybe not less than 15/16, it ought to work.
Mike
