Clutch and Brake Master Cylinder for a rx2 - upgrade ideas

I was wondering if any one has any ideas for a clutch and brake master cylinder upgrade. For what I would like to do with my rx2, I will need something more then stock stuff to help me stop im thinking. I was just wondering if anyone has any good info or something that I could look over that could help with this, or even send me on my way of someone that could. I do already a brand new clutch and brake master cylinder, so I don’t need to look for those. I also might be looking at saleing them, if anyone is interested in them let me know

You can use a 1stGen clutch master....remove the top stud and hone it out a bit....real easy. Haven't tried brake masters yet...

I'm interested if you decide to sell them.

BTW the '79-'80 use the same thread pitch as the early Rx's...a little easier for us.

thanks for the tip, used a new 1st gen with no problems, just had to drill out holes a bit since the bolts are on the firewall on the rx-2 and don't screw into the master clutch cylinder like the fb..

Glad to hear it trainwreck! Now...who has done a master cylinder and brake upgrade? Thinking about doing the 4-piston front conversion but I'm sure the stock master won't do it justice, especially if I run the RotaryPower rear disc conversion also...
