bergy Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hey to all, 1953 B3 here.changed rear axle to 99 cherokee3:55. Bought the disc conversion-offered .and planned to use the master cylinder from the .jeep. My question is-the master cylinder is tapered on the mounting flange to accommodate the angled firewall mounting spot on the .jeep .Now when trying to mount it on tha same spot where the original master on the 1953, the master cylinder mounting spot is flat. So if I mount the jeep master cylinder it is mounted on a angle tilted up . It does not sit flat to add fluid and looks like it just doesn't work. What alternative master cylinder should I use- having to have the correct proportioning valve for the disc- drum combo.? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medium_jon Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I used a Wilwood setup... I'm pleased thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dartgame Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 If I recall correctly the MC is under the floor ? Will it clear the bottom of the floor if it had a flat mounting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Search the truck side of the forum. A few guys have adapted other master cylinders and I hadn't heard of the angle being an issue. Maybe it depends on the donor M/C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
