The narrow master cylinder weighs 6 lb. so the most you could save is 4 lb--if you can find an aluminum version of it (or are willing to use the aluminum/plastic type). The fatter master cylinder is available in aluminum from SS brakes, but it weighs about 4 lb and takes more fluid than the narrow style.

Use bolts just long enough, and if you are very industrious, I know of a 1970s racer who cut apart the front subframe, removed the overlap, and re-welded it together.
