you would just need the right bore dia & if manual brakes, that the rear piston cavity (the thimble) has a circular recess about halfway down into it for the pushrod neoprene nub to lock into (PB can work with or without the recess)

Parts store is fine, plus you get lifetime warranty. Brake light switch is on a bracket that's adjustable.

the alum MC's will have a different base flange thickness and the piston will likely be at a different depth than the OE iron MC plus you'll likely use the 4 bolt to 2 bolt adapter plate all of which will affect pushrod length needed so figure you might be needing the MP adjustable pushrod after mockup

I went with the 85 Dodge Diplomat MC because I actually have 10 pistons in my brake system,Wilwoods on the rear and factory discs on the front. The tech section on the Mark Williams site suggested a 1" bore with the brake system I'm using. I'm probably going to finish my brake upgrade this weekend so I'll post back and let you know how it fits. Gus

Eberg once made mention of filling the cavity with RTV to lock the pushrod into a piston without the manual brake recess. At first blush it sounded hokey but with more thought I think it'd be secure & Eberg has forgotten more tech than I will ever know
