Hey guys.

I've harvested the master cylinder and brake boost from a 93 Mustang LX. Now I'm looking to take the reservoir remote so that I can access the oil filler from the engine bay after the body is on.

So, what couplers/connector sizes do I need for the Mustang OEM MC? There are 2 sizes. The rear one looks to be about 35mm but the front looks smaller. Any suggestions? Picture worth a thousand words, please have a look:

What size connectors do I need?

Here's an example from Wilwood but I want to use my donor stuff. Again, question is about size of the white couplers and where to buy.

I am using this setup for the fluid reservoirs. Looking for information on which size white connectors to use on the Mustang OEM.

From forum recommendations, I replaced my GT M/C with:
’95 Mustang Cobra 1.00” bore (Dorman Master Cylinder M390125)

STRONG suggestion, if it's the original '93 M/C, REPLACE IT! It's 20 years old and difficult to replace after the car is assembled and the body is on (and painted! :eek:), especially with the booster installed (ask me how I know!)

I installed Billet Aluminum Master Cylinder Nipples from Lodestone Billet Works (http://www.lsbilletworks.com/) from Rick.

Looks similar to this:

I don't have a source for you but recommend you get adapters that fit INTO the OE rubber seals on the MC rather than something that clamps around the outside. I 'think' that is how the ones MPTech shows fit.

Will Lodestone Billet Works be able to address the 2 different sizes? See photo in the first post.
