Default C6 front with LS1 rear ....what master cylinder?

I will be running manual brakes. Anything out there that will bolt to the stock studs in my 66? I would prefer something OEM to keep with the look in my engine compartment.

I was planning on using the double master cylinder CNC Brakes makes for the Cobra crowd. It's made to be manual, though I was thinking of adapting it for my power setup. It uses a balance bar, so you should be able to dial it in.



You can find it on http://www.fortesparts.com/modules.cfm

If you want something stock and cheap, try a 15/16" bore m/c. I belive a '67 Camaro came with a maual m/c with that bore size.

The C5 uses a 1" bore master and I believe the C6 does also. A C3 manual master cylinder is 1" also.

Tobin from Kore 3 suggested one from a 77 Malibu with manual brakes. I am going to give that a shot.
