Modern aluminum masters generally have a thin body with a plastic reservoir which work great and sit above the cover. Our favorite for these swaps is the 1997 Explorer master cylinder, and it can be had out of the box in either 4-wheel or 2-wheel disc varieties. Just make sure you opt for a "new" one and not a rebuild, as the rebuilds will not usually come with the reservoir. Also, many aftermarket brake kits will come with a master, check on the specifics when ordering.<br /><br />word up scott you finish that yard yet <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>scotzilla</b> <br /><small>Member # 6327</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,7,12,14,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> the yard is getting there- good enough to leave alone for a while.

So for now weve fabbed the trans mount and finsihed the suspension swap while we are waiting on pieces to build the motor mounts. <br /><br />I cant believe how clean this car is especially since it came from Idaho and has been there all its life. The gas tank was rotted through but not one rust hole in the floor. Since we had the suspension and drive train out we talked him into spraying a bed liner on the underside. <br /><br /> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e42/scotzilla/nates%2068%20mustang%20fastback/2011-08-03170935.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br /> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e42/scotzilla/nates%2068%20mustang%20fastback/2011-08-02111320.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br /> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e42/scotzilla/nates%2068%20mustang%20fastback/2011-08-05151214.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br />its a snug fit but they do go in, i didnt think it was as bad as everyone made it out to be.<br /> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e42/scotzilla/nates%2068%20mustang%20fastback/2011-08-09120721.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br />we had to notch the oil pan an inch and notch the inner brace on the hood but everything will clear under a stock hood<br /><br /> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e42/scotzilla/nates%2068%20mustang%20fastback/2011-08-09120742.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br /> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e42/scotzilla/nates%2068%20mustang%20fastback/2011-08-09120650.jpg" alt=" - " /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>scotzilla</b> <br /><small>Member # 6327</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,7,17,18,52,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> heidts mustang 2 set-up<br /><br /> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e42/scotzilla/nates%2068%20mustang%20fastback/2011-08-08163308.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br /><br /> <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e42/scotzilla/nates%2068%20mustang%20fastback/2011-08-08163222.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br />the donor car had some larger aldan coilovers that we decided to use.
