Pic of wildwood master cylinder installed

I am looking for a picture of a wildwood master cylinder and proportioning valve installed. I am in the process of swapping mine (for the nice chrome look) but the Master is at a significant angle, I am thinking the must be a different firewall to booster mounting Assy for this.

Thanks,

Fran

Re: Pic of wildwood master cylinder installed

Here’s mine. Still building the car so haven’t driven it or tried adjusting the caster / camber plates yet.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I fabricated my own mounting bracket for the proportioning valve. I needed to have a specific angle on the bracket to keep the valve & lines away from the forward facing headers.

Batman, thanks for the pic, I have a 86 iroc and the firewall has a significant angle, I am trying to find out what others are using to level the Master cylinder. BTW I see the header on yours in facing forward, are you running a turbo?

Yeah - I have a CX Racing single turbo setup. I’ve been building this car for like 8 years now . I’ll never build / restore an entire car again!

Just mocking up your camber plates on towels before torqueing them down and breaking paint?
My race car balance bar.
Set up neutral 10 rounds from right with 500lbs more front caliper pressure.

Coming up on 28 years



Wilwood master with HydroBoost

There is one thing to note, I threaded the small hole at the bottom of the divider for a plug. The hole is there to balance the fluid level, but at the extreme angle of the master the front chamber will be about half full before the rear chamber begins to overflow. I guess that makes me a pessimist. Something to think about.
