I'd do the Corvette setup, it's sold by nearly every street rod parts vendor, specific to 4 wheel disc, all new parts, and priced reasonably.

I was told the line fittings are hard to find local for the Corvette MC.

I found a MC/Booster from an 80's Mustang II that had discs all around and I think I found a local place to rebuild it for me so now the plumbing can begin, just got to drill some firewall holes and lets see

That booster and M/C is off an SVO Mustang. Great find.

Looks exactly like '93 Cobra, an even better find. The SVOs I've seen all use a large cast aluminum master cyl with integral reservoir. Same as Fox Lincoln Continental except they were cast iron. I used one of them on a '57 Ford project.

Mike is correct, I've just seen too many M/C's and boosters and got confused. :oops:
