Re: Master Cylinder Compatibility

Well, it seems that lately, the brake MC has been the "hot topic" for a number of folks here on the forum -
It looks like Plateaucal took the "jump in with both feet" approach and re-engineered his Patrol to work with the Aussie Protec JB1419 unit, and I spoke to Dorian (WEB) yesterday on the phone, and he is considering that same route; and Marshall out in California is having his original Tokiko MC checked out by a shop to see whether or not it is too far gone to be rebuilt...
Well, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up too high, but this morning I found (yet another) 1-inch master cylinder that looks like it might fit the Patrol's vertical bolt pattern -
So, I'm "taking one for the team" - I ordered one for evaluation. If the bolt pattern does indeed fit the Patrol's firewall, then I will post all the information here, and in the parts database.
If it doesn't fit, then I'll post another "FAIL"; and toss it onto my ever-growing pile of "Close, but no cigar" master cylinders...
