Started sorting out my non-existant brake system today. My original master cylinder was cracked,(no good even for a core), and all the metal brake lines needed replacing.
Because of this and as a concession to safety, I installed a dual reservoir master cylinder on the C8 today.
A trip to the scrapyard yielded a good choice as it had the brake line outlets exiting the right hand side and a very low filler cap profile. Came from a 1970 Jeep Commando. Very cheap for new ones at the local auto parts store.
Made up a heavy bracket and bolted it up. Re-installed the old 216 motor, installed floor plate and wood strip to check clearances. Not much room to spare, but it fits, it's safer and it's cheap!
Thanks, David
