   nice work! they look great!

master cyls: the dirty secret is: they are all the same. get the bore right, and for nearly all AMCs that will be 1", and any of them will work. the difference is mainly ports on the left or right, and the port thread and hole size. 

the light bulb over my head went on when i went to re-brake my 63 american: the 63 master was $220, rebuilt, but a new 64 was $25, NEW. but required two $4 adapters. BFD! drop in bolt on.

on my rambler roadster i'm running some chevy part, $25 new and available at every auto store everywhere. same difference!

i get "drum brake" masters and just yank out the check valve, where applicable.

	There were Gremlins with manual discs. I just got one of those from the local parts house and it was a bolt on for my 65 Classic when I installed the Scarebird kit.

	I can't remember what the number is, but Mustangs have one aftermarket.
