    If anyones curious the master cylinder is a fenco m1945 that you can pick up at most parts stores for around 20 bucks. And has 7/16 and 9/16 ports like the factory disc lines 1" bore, to use my drum lines I had to use a 9/16 to 1/4 adapter, and you have to drill the bolt holes out to 3/8 and shorten the rod 7/16. Work fine with my dual piston pbr's and explorer rears

    Going to do the alignment today, but it already drive and stops way better then the previous stuff, I'm very impressed with the motor as well to be relitivly stock and it pulls pretty good, traction is definately a issue... its as fast or faster then it was before and a ton better to ride in.

    I put a few videos on my youtube channel Rgrimes81 is the username
