1” brake master cylinder conversion

[Brs5280]

Has anyone done the conversion to the Wilwood 1" master cylinder that was described by Larry Shrimp in his article on the site?  He leaves a gasket off and I'm curious if anyone has had long term experience with this approach.  Also, I'd like to get clarification on the adapters and brake line that are used.  Thanks for any information.

I'd PM Larry.

I like the late MGB MC better but everything depends on which pedal box you have and what calipers.

Thanks.  I am switching to the Wilwood big brake and like the idea of a firmer pedal from the larger MC. The brakes on my 1977 are soft with a long travel before braking occurs. It will probably only get worse with the larger calipers.

 I PM'd Larry a while ago, hopefully I hear from him.

I think Larry changed brake setups again and is running a dual 7" booster and 1 1/8" MC.

Larry switched to another Wilwood MC that would mate to his new 7" dual booster, but it is still a 1" MC.  Or was as of August 2019.
