strange Master Cylinder
I am doing some upgrades on my 1980 I/S Camaro. I put strange brakes all around, install was clean nice brakes. Now I am replacing the factory master cylinder with the Strange unit. I am scratching my head now, I pulled the factory one off, 2, 3/8 studs through the firewall, the Strange unit has 1/4" holes and they do not line up good with the 3/8 studs. Looks like I will need to drill out the master cylinder base to 3/8,. Can someone who has converted one of these over offer me some advice.
Thanks Randy Wells I/S 5628 Last edited by Randy Wells; 11-11-2020 at 07:03 PM. |

That's Strange (no pun intended) every one I've got from them has .328" holes. Like this one B3359TA

Re: strange Master Cylinder
I don't drill them out, I use a rattail file and work to fit, the 3/8" drill bit takes out material in the wrong places along with widening the holes.

Re: strange Master Cylinder
This is the adapter from TRZ Motorsports I used for my 69 Camaro. Fwiw the Bickle brake rod retainer works with it.
