Just FYI the RX-8 master cylinder will not work no way no how. They are angled since the brake booster is kind of at an angle in the engine bay.

Paul Ko and i put an Rx8 master and booster in an FC, it worked. i'm not sure what i was expecting, but it kind of didn't make any difference
the Rx8 also had a different pedal ratio, so its probable that if you wanted the FC/FD to feel like an Rx8 you'd need to change that too.
Thank you for the info. I did the rebuild yesterday using a 626 MC. The internals on mine were a bit different than the FD’s, but I was able to use all the seals and o-rings. I used a Brake Best brand because I was able to grab it locally. It works perfectly! I ended up using the 626 reservoir also… it had a bump of extra plastic where the nipple should have been. I drilled and tapped it then added a fitting. Everything else lined up perfectly with the FD’s master cylinder’s body.
Photo of the reservoir actually in the FD engine bay. BTW, the hydraulics bled perfectly and this FD has brake and clutch pressure for the first time in more than a decade!
