    You will need to change the inside pedal as well. The power brake pedal does not push the rod straight. It pushes the rod at an angle.

    If you need the non power brake setup (mount and pedal assembly) I have a few just sitting on the shelf ready to put in a box and send. PM me if you are interested.

    Russ, I looked that number up and they show both ports to be 3/8-24 and the bore to 0.875"?

    I'm swapping my m/c out for a 1" bore, I have a Corvette C3 master right now but the mount holes will need elongating and the ports are 1/2-20 and 9/16-18...

    Just looked at JEGS, check out part number 260-8555-PK

    Comes with an adjustable proportioning valve, brake line, and all the fittings.

    It was a hassle for me to find the lines with the correct sized fittings, that would fit the M/C on one end, and the line-lock at the other.

    1" bore on mine.
