Contemporary Brake Master Cylinder

[Tramsey]

I have a Contemporary with Girling brake master cylinder from what looks like a Triumph Spitfire. The assembly manual calls out the specific Girling part no. and in my research it shows as a early to mid 70's Spitfire part. Has anyone changed out their brake master cylinder to a remote reservoir style? My setup is the overhung pedal arrangement. I want to upgrade to a remote reservoir style master cylinder since access to the reservoir is somewhat limited. I cannot seem to find anything that works. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim

Willwood, and you won't have to use special brake fluid.

Hi Rick 427 Cobra,
What Wilwood master cylinder did you use? The only one I have found has a 1" bore and I don't think that will generate enough line pressure.
Thanks for any info.

I used a master cylinder from a late 70's mazda 626 or 828 I think . Remote reservoir I used PVC cleaner cans, drilled a whole in the bottom and put a fitting in. Looks just like the Girling original and works great cost $5 dollars.

They have 5/8 to 1 1/8'' Stock set would be about a 3/4 I guess

There's a cheaper alternative to the floor mounted box I make.

What about converting that frame extension to a bracket like this.
