Manual Brakes Q'S

RUSTANG · 07-31-2002, 12:32 PM

I bought the manual brake conversion kit from Holcomb but did not get the kit with the master cylinder included, just the rod and firewall block. I bought a 86SVO master cylinder to go with it but it is made for Power brakes and the rod is not long enough to work with it. It has a sunkin rod hole in it about 1 1/2 inches deep. My brake pedle is only 3 inches off the floor due to this. What master cylinders are you using with your kit's? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I have an 85 Mustang running 95 front disk brakes and lincoln disk brakes in the rear with a 9". I need a master cylinder that will work with the manual brake kit and 4 wheel disk brakes.

Thanks,

Mike
