Doug,
                The kit comes with a Toyota master cylinder that is a pain in 
the  
ass to fill. It mounts on the inside of the main frame rail between  
the frame and the oil pan. It also has a plastic reservoir which I  
dont think is a great idea since it is right down next to the  
manifold and the road. We use another style master cylinder and  
change the reservoir to a 6 cylinder Healey style. That way it is  
easy to check the fluid level and add if required.
