    Ever think about building one of these---????

     



    I know I did. I didn't want to mount a master cylinder on my firewall, and I didn't really want to mount it under the floor. The under dash 90 degree mounted cylinder seemed like the perfect answer, untill I started thinking about the issues involved with filling the master cylinder, and the amount of machining necessary to build it correctly. The fact that I have no lathe or mill played a big part in why I didn't build one for myself. A friend of mine recently purchased a "manufactured" one from an aftermarket supplier, and it is very impressively built. Follow along with me, and have a look. Don't ask me to send any solid models or design specs, because I won't---this is someone elses property. and I will not do that. This is simply a post to show whats involved in a well thought out and engineered product.
