Aluminum master cylinder?

[Lyn Smith]

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

[Lyn Smith]

Are there any regular automotive all aluminum ones that will work ok?

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.
