[Roadsters] Brake Master Cylinder alternatives

[michael poorboy]

Hey Eddie,

I have either a truck master or a 510 one. It was actually rotated a few
degrees to clear the Solexes. It will be swapped out

with a Wilwood or Tilton this Summer. By rotating it, the resevoir can drip
brake fluid on the exhuast.

Mikuni carbs, then the clearance became an issue. The 510 master is longer
than the roadster master and I was unable to install that way. I had to remove
the 510 master and replace it with a roadster master. Other than that, the 510
master worked great. I am not aware of any other clearance issues. Good luck,
Dewey
