Woo Hoo! My new Master Cylinder!

I have been running the single "Fruit Jar" Master (no power booster BTW) since I got my car 6 years ago and 3 years ago I upgraded to front disc brakes with the kit from ABS Power Brakes. This year I wanted to overhaul the entire rear brake system and finally add a dual master. I already bought all the parts I needed like new drums, shoes, spring kit, & wheel cylinders but was unsure on what Master and Prop Valve to use and so I read up and decided to got with the ABS Power Brakes all in one Master/Prop/Metering valve version and here it is:






They had it in cast but I went with polished as I am going to upgrade the Valve Covers and Air Cleaner after Christmas....LOL!

Re: Woo Hoo! My new Master Cylinder!

That thing will looks super with a nice set of finned covers! Nice. I had a MC from them that was dead out of the box just this summer, it wouldn't bench bleed...I'd suggest testing it out prior to installing. :-)

Yes, they were more than fair and did everything to try to help on my project gone bad. In the end they refunded me what was initially paid when I decided to ditch the whole power system all together. I'd use them again on future projects.

Woo hoo please let us know how you like it after you get it installed. I guess you were happy with the disc set up for the front too, it looks like a real nice kit. Thanks bob

Yeah the guys there are super cool. I'll make sure everything is 100% before I start/finish.

1. I'll post before and after pics as well as how I like it.

2. VERY happy. Very straight forward kit and me and friend from work did the install in about 2hrs total. Good thing they are only about 30mins away so if I need anything I can just pop over!

Re: Woo Hoo! My new Master Cylinder!

I looked at those before I bought my master cylinder and booster. They look nice. They actually look too good for my car.
