Hey Everyone! The body is off my car and at the painters. So now it's time to make some changes while it's easy. I have an SN95 pedal box and am currently using the MC from a 1980-something jeep. Not a fan of it and it doesn't do a great job containing the brake fluid when out on track.

Any direct replacement offerings from CNC? Wilwood? Or anyone else? I do have the adjustable pushrod from whitby.

Thanks!!!

EDIT: Front brakes are SN95 GT, rear are 94 cobra.

Hi, the below MC is the one I have for what sounds like your exact setup. Call Breeze to make sure but I believe it was designed for your caliper setup at stock.

Maybe that’s my best option. Unfortunately not the most pleasing to the eye. But will get the job done.

If it’s the reservoir in that picture which you’re referring to (I would agree) then you could remove it and route it to a remote reservoir setup which can have some more eye pleasing options, that’s what I have.

$109 plus shipping is a bit steep.

Try this one at $67 for the 1995 Mustang Cobra.

Or this one for the 1995 Mustang GT at $41.

This is the one I had just fitted. Only a couple a laps around the block but, feels a lot better . I didn't even set up the proportioning valve yet.

Be sure you know the bore diameter of the one you currently have so you can match it. I noticed the ones from RockAuto don't specify the bore. A larger bore will give a firmer pedal and smaller will give lighter pedal. I think a 7/8" is about the minimum.

Are the flanges on all these things the same? As in, where it bolts to the footbox

Quick update - Ordered a 94 cobra MC. Not the look I want, but it is cheap and easy and will allow me to focus on getting the other items finished.
