[Roadsters] Brake Master Cylinder alternatives

[Daryl Smith]

First off I have no experience with them, other than seeing the setup on my 
brothers 510 racecar, which is yet to see a track......

Some info and a couple pictures here:

An interesting and compact piece here ( bias adjustment.??. ):

Wilwood assembly here:

Google will help you find more info..............

If you can hook up with some of the racers, roadster or 510, you may be able 
to see first hand how they've done it, and adjust for your 
car/likes/dislikes.
