93+ Brake fluid reservois on a 3rd gen ?
Has anyone ever tried to fit a 4th gen brake flui reservoir on a thirdgen master cylinder? Never have liked the stock one, and bleeding is a pain in the *** even with the pressure adapter for this type. Has anyone tried installing a 4th gen reservoir that has the threaded cap rather than a snap on cover?

you can use the whole master from a 98-02 car, bolts right in, with the nicer reservoir, just have to tweak the little lines to the prop valve a little.

What benefit is there going to a 4th gen booster/master?

You can also use one from a 93 to a 98 car also. Just have to change one of the tubing nuts on the front line coming off the master. Very easy to do.

The 4th gen M/C's have a larger or same size piston as the 3rd gen M/C.
The 4th gen M/C have a 1" bore.
Some early 3rd gens also have a 1" bore M/C. These are the ones with rear disc brakes.
The majority of 3rd gens have a 0.945" bore M/C (24 mm).
This means that with a 4th gen M/C about 11% more pedal pressure will be required for the same braking force.
The biggest difference is that the 4th gen M/C are a non-quick take up design. Where the 3rd gen M/C's are a quick take up design.
