I'm building a '29 Model A with a SBC 350 and a 5 speed that I think is out of a '93-'95 pickup. The transmission has provisions for a slave cylinder/fork ***embly on the p***enger side. I plan to use a '93-'95 Chevy slave cylinder. My question is what master cylinder should I use. I bought a brake/clutch pedal ***embly on line, unfortunately it is ****, too big, sloppy fits, etc., but I can modify it to work (probably cost as much in time and money as I paid for it), but I need to find a hydraulically compatible clutch master cylinder that will work with this slave cylinder before I can design the modifications. Any ideas?
1962 Chevy Truck Dual Clutch and Brake Master Cylinder. I have one on my Model A and it's the bomb-diggity.
Logical, yes, ugly also, as the matching master cylinder is plastic. I see a small aluminum master cylinder used in a lot of magazine pictures, but no description.
The clutch master in the donor has a 0.645" bore. About the closest you are going to get to that in the aftermarket is 5/8" (0.625)". Do the ones in the magazines you are looking at, look like this: http://www.wilwood.com/MasterCylinders/MasterCylinderList.aspx
Paint it, cover it, mount it inside the car, or find another one of the same bore, etc... that makes you happy....
X2, that is what I have in my '29 with 283 and T5 and love it. But I am using the '62 slave cylinder also. What ever slave cyl. you use I would always use the same corosponding master other wise you are making it harder than it has to be.
This is a pic of the CNC slave cylinder I used on my BW T5 in my roadster, it is 7/8 inch bore. The master cylinder is a 3/4 bore. I modified a standard Ford clutch fork to work with the bell housing adapter. Works good. Rex
Early 90's Cherokees with a 5 speed (t5) used a girling hyd master cylinder. Small, looks ok, standard fittings and available at any parts store.
x3 just with a 327 and a t-5. Fun so far, and the master cylinder looks cool on the firewall as well.
