Alternant master cylinder resevoir

Post by Gunnibronco »

My Mustang h-boost M/C has been tilted to the side ever since I did my EFI. I had to rotate my hydroboost unit to clear the upper intake.

Skyorang found that an earlier model Mustang M/C had the correct mounting bolt clocking (12 & 6 o'clock) to mount it upright. It looks exactly like mine except for the mounting ear pattern.

The problem will be that the reservoir is probably going to hit the h-boost reservoir can, by about 1/2"ish.

I know some have swapped reservoirs on their Astro set ups, but I've never paid attention to the options. Are there common sized outlets to fit the M/C body? I keep finding remote reservoirs, but I really don't want them. It works fine, so its low on my to-do list, but I'd take care of it now if its an easy option.

I'm still not sure if the hydroboost unit itself is different, or just the master cylinder.

Thanks for the pics. The h-boost reservoir canister is shorter, allowing the m/c reservoir to fit. I'll have to keep my eyes open for one, if mine fails or leaks, I'll replace it with a 96-98 one like that.
