Matthias, test your brakes in a safe area when road is wet, you risk locking front wheels easier and thereby have a significantly longer braking distance. Hope not, but be safe.
BTW, yes beautiful install

Matthias,
The photo above that you recently posted introduced something new to this discussion that hasn't been previously noted.
Are you aware that the brake master cylinder in your photograph, on your car, is not the original master cylinder but an aftermarket replacement?
You previously stated changes to the brake system, such as Wilwood upgrades, are very difficult to get approved. I fear your nonstock master cylinder whether it is Wilwood or not will prove to be a large problem, based on what you have previously said.

Larry,
Tx did not know that the master cylinder is not original! I still lack detailed skill severely.
What is the apprearence of the original, is it the one with the two plastic containers on top? Would prefer that version as much nicer as this NON original with the open containers, hard to fill and work with (my Corvette 1967 C2 has a similar set up).
Well hope this Cylinder will do the technical job!!?? .. for the moment..
I am positive this cylinder will make it through the German MOT/TÜV, as it looks pretty much original (smile)! Brake components with Willwood sticker on it are more of a problem. ..we will see as TÜV is HOPEFULLY going to happen in Beginning July.
Tx anyways..

Matthias -
That looks like the same/similar master I have on mine (#5357).
I was told it's from a small Ford pickup truck (maybe a Ranger?)
Let me know if you cross-reference the part number. Thanks
Your's has the booster adapter/convertor, the small aluminum spacer between the booster and the MC.

Rocky, Team Tx
I will try the German MOT/TÜV with it as is!
(No more invest as tooo much spent already..)
Honestly I DO NOT understand the function of the BOOSTER adapter (Ok understand this is the Aluminium spacer of app. 1/2 inch).
Love to go for the brake cylinder with 2 plastic containers IF this is the ORIGINAL set up, as much nicer to work with.
comment? Original? With or without booster..then?
...happy to open a new THREAD on this..as still learning...on detail..as typical for an retired engineer...(smile)

The adapter just converts the boosters bolt pattern from the 4 bolt on the booster to the two bolt Master Cylinder.
