Test drove the car again today -- brakes feel good with the 15/16" master.  What I have installed is '96 Mazda Protoge with the Isuzu Trooper reservoir.  As noted above, the Protoge gromets aren't really the right size but I also have a master from an '89 Toyota Camry which is also 15/16 & has the right inlet spacing & gromet size to accept the Isuzu reservoir so I'll likely switch to it.  But first, I have a few things to sort out from the test drive...

Shifter lever was keeping me from getting 1st/3rd/5th fully engaged.  So stayed in 2nd the whole time.  Fixed that this evening.
Neither speedo or tach are working; will need to check that out.
Car overheated... I'm guessing this had something to do with it...  No idea how I missed that?!?!?

But, temp gauge worked (silver lining).

Should be able to fix the fan tonight or sometime this week so I can make sure that's all it was.

Rob, Congratulations on the brakes, I knew you'd get it figured out.

Pretty cool Rob. ( no pun intended)

Don't sweat the fan thing too much.
 When I worked for Volkswagen back in the 80's we had a very quiet campaign to reverse the wiring for the rad fan on hundreds of 2nd gen Sciroccos.
So stuff happens.
Just why does it always happen to us?

Cheers

Rob, So you'd rather have it over heat in reverse ? Good work, cheers, roverman.
