    I used a master cylinder from a 94/95 Cobra SVT, as recommended by Baer.  Rear discs are Baer.
    I do not have power brakes.
     

    65 Fastback, 351W, 5-speed, 4 wheel discs, 9" rear,  R&C Front End.

    My fastback with cobra brakes on all four corners has a 92 Ranger 1" bore MC with a plastic tank from a 2000 Mustang V6.  Ports are on driver side.  It works well, but you have to get the tank separate or use the butt ugly one that comes with it.  I have power brakes, but that mc has 1" bore so it works either way.

    The one JamesW has is a good one to use.  It has metric 10mm bubble flare fittings on the passenger side and 1" bore.  OReilly #NMC2949     Autozone #NM4029

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Thanks for the info guys. ..I'm building this car from sctatch...so I have no brake lines or proportion valve. .does anyone have a diagram of their set up so I can make the brake lines and to see where they go.....do I need a proportion valve? Don't mind getting one if it helps. ...I wouldn't mind having james w set up...it looks bad and clean... thanks again
