Hi, all.
I have sold one of my 2 GT6+s to a friend, and he has discovered what is
looking like a great alternative to the original. He has found that a
brake M/C from the old Ford Courier pick-up is a perfect fit. It was
originally desined to fit horizontally, but the resevoir is short enough
that it clears the bonnet. It has the same bore size ,and fits on the
old bracket with a tiny bit of enlarging the hole in the upper mounting
ear. He took the lines to the Pressure Differential switch off a Courier
in a junk yard, as they have bubble flares, and cut them, then used
couplers to mate them to the lines to the PDWA. The clevis fits, and a
brake test showed no premature rear lockup. Best of all, they are
available at the local auto parts, he was quoted $26.00 with a $5.00 core
charge. So for $31.00, you can get a new M/C (or a cheap spare). I'll
get pix when I can if anyone wants some.
