I played around with my mill and lathe yesterday and completed the adaptor bracket for the master cylinder.

How much extra effort will this add to braking? It would be sweet to ditch that giant thing out of the engine bay, any guess on weight savings?

Nice. Must be really handy to have access to CNC equipment to make stuff up like that! I have to resort to angle grinders and files, and end up with something that looks like meh... lol. Good work man.

I need to give credit to a thread on EvoM for finding the part number:

This is the one I used, has a 7/8" cylinder:

I don't know but I'm sure it will be fine. Others have reported that it works good on track cars. Total weight savings is in the neighborhood of 8-10 lbs. It's nice having extra room in the engine bay.
