Ok, now you Patrol nerds have me on a QUEST....
Check this out:
Tilton Engineering part number 74-1000U
http://autoplicity.com/products/79031-t ... Mgod6mwAmA
One inch piston, single outlet Master Cylinder- comes with a variety of reservoir options (either fitted or remote) and has the 2-1/4 vertical bolt pattern that should fit a Patrol.
Here's the drawing with dimensions:

The Patrol bolt pattern is 2 1/2"!!
So you would have to do the same as you would with the Wilwood Dual M/C and elongate the mounting wholes, but it should work just fine after that.

And this one doesn't have the outlet for the pressure switch either.

Geeez....
C'MON! There has to be a master cylinder out there that fits.
Now I'm thinking about just converting the green machine to a Ford fruit jar...

The Tilton is the closest to the stock and with just a little bit of finess it will fit so if it were me and I was wanting the closest to stock that's the one I would go with.

Yeah, My tape measure SUCKS. It's fired.
I mean, it can't be my middle-aged eyes that are deceiving me when I try to measure something in the dark of night, right...

Having access to an old Tilton 7/8 inch master cylinder (left over from racing days)... I played around to see what I could come up with. With a "T" fitting, I was able to make an opening for the brake light switch. Then i set the whole assembly right onto the firewall for a project Patrol... It drops right in with no modification of fire wall or master cylinder...

If I am seeing it correctly you mounted it in the Clutch MC location not the Brake MC location, that's why it fit soo well.
If you were to move it over to the other opening then you would need to elongate the mounting holes either on the MC or the firewall.

Ooops You are so correct.
Upon further looking, it will take a minor hole elongation of the firewall holes... but it can be done...
