Technical 3 line master cylinder

1. Does anyone know of a 3 line master cylinder on the market? Or

2. Can you safely tee off of a 2 line MS?

3. Do you think you can bore into a MS to install a non pressurized line that feeds an electric brake pump?

I ask because mine gave up the ghost, they don't sell rebuild kits for it, but it is a very unique configuration. They want like $500 to replace just the MC.

Here's my system.

 

I have a few FOUR line master cylinders. You just plug the ones you don't need.

Yes, you can safely tee, as long as you use double-flare steel, or stainless steel lines.

I don't follow on the electric brake pump line issue. Can you post a picture?

 

picture would be nice...yeah, it can be challenging to get pictures to show up here, but it's not really that difficult. just use the "upload a file" ****on, and make sure the image file is not huge.

 

CPP Corvette style master cylinders have ports on both sides:

You can see one sticking out the other side, in the front. The casting has bilateral symmetry.

I run one in my Falcon, because coming out the "conventional" side would have made for a very difficult installation

 

Here's what I've got

 

This is an internal hydraulic ***ist system. You cannot use any other master cylinder but the one that they sell.

This has a hydraulic pump that takes fluid from the reservoir, and pumps it, when you push the pedal, against a piston that is inside the master cylinder. This is the hydraulic ***ist. The other two lines are just the front and rear circuits.

Switching to a multi-line master cylinder will not work the way you want it to.

 

if you don't need power ***ist, you could probably replace the master cylinder with a 1-ish inch bore normal two line master cylinder.

like most modern traditional hot rods use.

 

Actually, the pump charges the ac***ulator, and that supplies the boost pressure. And if you think the master is expensive, wait until the pump goes TU.....

But just because you can't buy a rebuild kit, doesn't mean it can't be rebuilt. I'd dis***emble it first and see what the issue is, and if it's just seals, check with a hydraulic supply. They may be able to fix you up...
