[Roadsters] Brake Master Cylinder alternatives

[Eddie]

Tim,

The biggest one was the oil pump/distributor driveshaft being off not 1 
but TWO teeth..

Then there was the issue of the adjustment plate that's bolted to the 
underside of the distributor that, if in the wrong position, limits the 
range of the distributor.

Then there was the problem with the coil to distributor main wire being 
crappy and falling out.  (one flipped around it worked fine)

Those were the big ones.  Nothing that complex, and I did post it before..

>> Eddie, I had a 510 master in my 2000, worked fine until I mounted the 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
