HELP! Can't find an aftermarket Master Cylinder!!

I've been having problems all weekend with the 'SEARCH' function. It kicks back every search as 'no match' for even just a plain 'master cylinder' search.

I want to replace my ugly yellowed underpowered Master Cylinder with something modern, shiny, etc. I can't find out if there's a Wilwood, Baer, or? unit out there.
I've replaced the entire system with quality parts that I got from Ed, and the system is still sluggish and hella ugly!! I even brought it into a brake repair shop to see if I had done anything wrong, but they're scratching their heads after 4 days! AArrrrgg!!!! Nitro-Nicky

Re: HELP! Can't find an aftermarket Master Cylinder!!

Hey Nagen,

I am in the process of installing the LS1 Upgrade on mt 82 Z. Waiting on parts for the swap. In the mean time I am installing the LS1 master cylinder with an adjustable prop. valve from summit with the help of a line lock instaletion kit. It was to be done this weekend, but UPS lost my prop valve during shipping soI was not able to complete the install. I was only able to install the line lock on the front line. You will need plumb new lines but it will clean up the area around the booster nicely. No pics yet, will post later tonite

Try one from CPP:

They have an internal prop/metering valve.

Hey Ed,
I don't know if you remember me or not, but I purchased my entire brake system from you (last year). I've since lost your phone number and am wondering if I can phone you up again with some questions?????
Thanks, Nitro/Nicholas
