Sounds great; but it better be a darn compact master cylinder. There is not
much room in the engine compartment, and especially around the m/c's. Yeah,
that's one of my favorite bits of Sunbeam (or Girling, or whatever)
engineering, in particular the way the brake line fits into the master
cylinder in such a way you have to make a custom wrench to install/remove.

Hey, if the original system had dual master cylinders, we would've had
twice the opportunity for leaks ("double your pleasure, double your fun".

It fits, But I remove the steering column to install/remove the brake lines
because
they come out the bottom. You will need adapters or will have to reflare
your brake lines.

When using the mazda master cylinder, do you use any sort of booster, or
just the heavy foot method?
