New MC-4A02
And it's too wide to fit in between the mounts. I have 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 1/8 Al angle on order to fix the width problem and I think I know how to fix the length problem as well. Then I can address the height issue...

Assembled everything. You can see the spacers fit to hold the master cylinders in alignment. Plumbing in place. The unit is about 1 1/2 in. taller than the old Jaymar. I'm wondering if it will fit or will I have to lower it in the mount? We'll see to

I elected to make up a support structure from some 12" 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 wide aluminum angle i had in my aluminum bin. Cut two lengths 5 1/2" long and clamped them to the base well centered and drilled out holes matching the base. Attached them t

Cut away excess material on the sides of the angle. Will probably cut away more excess material from the base part of the angle.

The longest AN3-30 bolt I had was too short so a longer bolt is on order as are aluminum spacers to maintain proper alignment of the ends of the MCs.

2012 04 09 Well, after 4 weeks and buckets of DOT5 spent trying to make the Jaymar master cylinders work I have given up. They are just crap. So I'm taking the base of their base and building a new brake master setup using MATCO MC-4A master cylinders.
