Has anyone converted or have information for a dual master cylinder conversion, using a commonly available cylinder.
As I’m rebuilding a P210 frame, got to wondering if there was an improvement options for the brakes (of course disk brakes are the main ones).

With the P210, the cabin vent fan and heat exchanger housing is in the way of mounting the brake at a more accessible location for fluid level inspection and refill.

The conversion would probably require pivot point modifications to the brake pedal not to mention relocation.

Any information or thoughts would be appreciated.

I found someone that makes a bracket that allows a dual circuit master cylinder to be used in a 544. It all fits in the same place as the stock MC. I purchased a set up from him but haven’t had the time to complete the install. It seem well thought out and well built.
I bought a MC off of him too, it has a bore of 15/16” but he has sources for others.

Here is his Facebook ad for it:

I’ll post a report once I test it out.

I am ready to start the front disc brake conversion on my 63 PV544 and will also switch to a dual chamber master cylinder. I would be interested in the MC mounting bracket described in the above post but cannot track down the source through Facebook Market Place with the information noted. Does anyone have more information about the source of the bracket that mounts a new MC in the stock frame location as the original MC?

I believe the link below will get you to the info on Facebook. I just noticed it this afternoon.

Looking forward to hearing more about it. Considering for my 444.

Can someone post pictures of this Bracket please? I'm not on Facebook.

Derek: Im not on facebook either but i can see the pics when i follow the link.

Didn't work for me Dean. Your search - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1303229866831422 - did not match any documents.

Derek, I have the pictures in a file but am not smart enough to get them to appear here. Below is the email address for the person selling the bracket and master cylinder. His name is Dave Perry. His business is called OldSchool Restorations of North Alabama U.S.A.. phone 1 256 507 3328

I am sure he will forward pictures.

I’m currently about to do this on my 544. I’m thinking about using an L shaped bracket attached to the current bracket and using an RX7 MC and remote reservoirs. Planetman recommended that I use a 7/8” bore. Wilwood makes one (TM1) that looks like it would be very easy to use but it’s only got a 5/8” bore. BTW, I’m running front discs.

Mazda PU and Ford Ranger are probably the same

Wilwood makes many different styles of aftermarket master cylinders. I installed one on my 122. Found it on Ebay.

I did a 544 a few years ago and I think I used a Mazda truck mid 80's

Did you delete the heater core and fan or did you just mounted it underneat? Do you have any pictures?

Mounted it bellow
