Aluminum master cylinder?
 
When going to the after market front disc brakes is there a all aluminum master cylinder that will work instead of the plastic aluminum one that the companies sell?If so what does it come on.thanks

OEM Chrysler applications are popular that have the aluminum body and plastic resevoir.
I have a OEM manual disc/drum application from a late '70's Aspen/Volare on my OEM manual disc/drum Dart Sport. But I was considering doing to a larger truck version if I switch to aftermarket front discs.
I don't have any part #'s handy because I'm at work.

--Lyn -----many of the late model GM cars specifically the corvettes utilize an all aluminum master cylinder and have a metal(steel) cap held in place with the old style snap ring setup--- they are very light only about 5 pounds each--- do not know how much trouble it would be to graft it onto your car tho---probably just hafta fabricate a plate to bolt onto your firewall and then make the appropriate rod to go from the B pedal to the cylinder--- should not be to difficult to do----- Comp 387

Lyn, 1979 Dodge PU 2wd is what's on mine. Aluminum body w/plastic resevoir. As long as it hasnt changed part #'s, it looks and works just like the Lamb high$$$ unit.....

mid early 80's S10 master with manual brakes. I have bought 3 of them and never used a proportioning valve. When you buy one, sometimes they come thru steel instead of aluminum, so check the box before you leave the store. Never had a leak issue.

Lynn, I use a strange MC with no problems. It's been on my car for about 10 years. I think it's a 1" bore. Some of the mid 70's corvette MC will work with just front discs.
