Got the prototype ready to party, just waiting on Pathfinder to email me back for test fitting details

If everything fits well I have enough material to make 3 or 4 more right now with no wait. I couldn't find a machinist that wanted to make the billet piece for a reasonable amount, so I went to my backup plan with just a pipe piece, but this does keep the price way down also and is very strong.

The master cylinder fits on there VERY tight. This thing isn't going anywhere!

Sounds like a fun build! I'm stoked at the interest we've generated with this little project.

The mounting pattern on the end fits the stock master, but if you can tell me how the aftermarket ones mount Im sure I could make it work.

I was looking at the wilwood master, its a 2 bolt setup, top and bottom but I can modify if needed. The factory one hasnt let me down yet.

Haven't actually started into yet I have the parts but yes I want one of these if they work out I was actually thinking of trying to see if a wilwood pedal and master would work but this seems like more of a OEM but better option, thanks guys for initiating this!

Thanks for asking! Richard has mailed me the "prototype", so to speak, and I'm currently in the process of installing it in my truck. In between birthdays, holidays, and kiddos getting sick, my wrenching time hasn't been what I had hoped, but my goal is to finish the install (with pics!) by the end of this week and/or weekend.

I fully anticipate everything sliding in without a hitch. I will be providing Richard with any feedback, and hopefully he can then get cranking on these.

So be sure and check back here soon for some updates!

Thanks everyone. I know y'all are just as excited as I am.
