Brake Master Cylinder going...

[NCheek]

I don't have the necessary parts or cash to get the parts for hydroboost at this point, but my master cylinder is leaking out of the back (between MC and Booster) and I would like to know if there are any upgrades I can do at this point. I have heard of some using a different MC than stock with their hydroboost setups, would this benefit me with my vacuum boosted system? If so, anybody have a part number or specific vehicle that it would be available on?

Just an FYI, the brake fluid may very well eat through your brake booster diaphram too.

There is a Ford service part with a slightly larger diameter master cylinder that is used to compensate for oversized (reman) brake calipers. However any change in diameter will simply change the mechanical leverage between the brake pedal and the brakes. I.e. a larger master cylinder will reduce pedal travel and make the brake pedal harder to push for a given PSI at the brake cylinders.

So I guess I'll just replace with the stock part...
