No need for the 100 bucks aluminium 15/16 MC from Mopar. Did Mopar put any that small Diamater MC's in cast iron? I used the 1,xx from a 76 Cordoba in another application but with power brakes. For this project I want to keep the brakes manual. Wilwood makes some very cheap 7/8 for example but can I get adapterplates to mount them properly? https://www.facebook.com/UncleHarrysMusclecargarage

As far as I know, I'm the only source for 15/16" and 7/8" bore aluminum Mopar master cylinders that are compatable with manual brakes. Contact info
