Long live RB! You will enjoy working with it! Prep as many areas as you can first, though! Two days max after you open it before it becomes a block of RB!

Jon,

Heads up.....you better get a coat of paint on that Tom's master cylinder. It is going to rust quickly and I'm certain that's the last thing you want to see after you went to the trouble of upgrading to a NEW system.

I just installed the same booster setup, and was disappointed at the position angle of the master cylinder. It REALLY slopes a lot more than the one from B.C. Broncos.

Thanks Pete. I just took it out of the box, but I'll definitely get a coat of paint on it. Maybe clear.

What do you mean by "slopes?" As in the MC points down too low or that it angles too far to the side? The only pic I can find of BC's insn't installed so it's hard to compare. And I guess why is it an issue?

Remember, you are a father figure to many of us and we look up to you, so you have to do everything perfect. No pressure. Ha ha.

Doesn't it have to point down to keep the brake fluid at the inlet?

The booster setup from Chuck is designed with the M/C level. The one from Tom's is lower in the front than the rear.

Great stuff. Before and after pics is nothing more than motivation for us. Looking good. I hope mine will get to that point one day. ;D
