I'm looking for a GM (prefferably) or aftermarket master cylinder that has the brake lines exit straight down. I need the extra clearance for my Turbo down pipes. I've looked around through the junk yard and online but havent been able to find one. Does anyone have an idea of a GM vehicle that has lines in that configuration or know of an aftermarket one?

I have never see one like that.
Do you have power steering still?
If so a hydro boost could work for you.

You could try calling summit or jegs.

Dan W

Yeah, I plan on running a hydra boost but that only helps the booster part of the equation. I need the brake lines themselves relocated also.

What side do they come out on? I am going to guess towards the engine cause your turbo is in the way.

See if you can get one that comes out on towards the fender.

Other then that you would have to reroute the down pipe or move your master on the firewall.

You might want to consider this idea. Some guys on Pro Touring have swapped to a S-Series master cylinder since they're the same bore size, are also quick take-up, and will bolt in. The trick is that the outlet ports are toward the fender and not the engine, making some room in that area. Look into it.

Yeah Ed, i thought of that and may end up going that route but there isnt much room between the strut tower and the left side of the master cylinder so I think I'd need to run some sort of right angle fitting out of the master to make it work.

So I went over and talked to the guys at Pro-Tourning and one of them mentioned that his 2003 mustang came stock with hydraboost and a master cylinder with brakelines that go straight down. Advanced auto shows the same part number for both the Cobra and the GT. Since the cobra runs the same PBR caliper this might be the way to go... I can pull the whole hydraboost/master cylinder assembly from the same car, perfect.
