Did a search and didnt find what i want to know. I am in the process of upgrading the front brakes in my HX one tonner and will need to upgrade the master cylinder.

Cheers for the help.

$300 for the C3 vette master will still be cheaper and easier than finding and rebuilding a WB booster and new master , changing piping etc
The 1 1/8 master would be better for those calipers you plan to use
I wish you luck making them fit
