« on: October 27, 2010, 09:29:59 pm »
Does anyone know what make model and year the aluminum brake master cylinder is or is that an aftermarket piece?

Brake or clutch?
Rule book says nothing aftermarket allowed (of course), but I wouldn't think an aluminum master cylinder was "as currently delivered by U.S. Legend Cars International."
 I stock brake master cylinders, and am in the process of sourcing the clutch master cylinder, should have them in the next week.

Brake master cylinders came from VW Beattle (72?) (not super beattle) and Dodge Colt (not sure of year).
Sorry! All the information I have.

I am talking about brake master, sorry I left that out.  I know the cast iron unit is the 72 beetle but they allow an aluminum master.  Is that the dodge colt?  Anyone else have more info on that?  I had one on a car I bought and want another one since its a couple pounds lighter.

"Mr. Bucher,
 
Originally the Legends Car did come with an aluminum master cylinder (with the reservoir mounted on top of it). That master cylinder is still considered legal for use at INEX sanctioned events.
Your best bet will be to call the parts department at US Legend Cars International (704) 455-3896, to check and see if the one you have is the same as the one they used in production.
 
Sincerely,
Scott Reinhardt
(INEX National Tech Director) "

I thought brakeman had one they sold also. I called about pads during the time the legends million was going and they said they had one but where having some issues with getting through tech with it.

The small body Tilton reservoir (74-210)  will fit. I have a car at my shop with one on it right now.
