So we're saying much cheaper if I get a dual master and stuff from a granada or maverick?

JamesW

yes...that's the typical way to go.

Soaring

Yep, just go into Autozone and put both of your elbows on the counter and bang on the counter three times. When the dumb kid comes up on the other side and asks what you want, just say.......
"I need a dual master cylinder for a 1974 Maverick." The DA kid will peck at the computer for what may seem like an hour, then he will excuse himself and go back to the back of the store. In a few minutes, and older and wiser male species will show up and ask what your want. You will again repeat your request for a 1974 Maverick dual master brake cylinder, and he will then start pecking at the computer.
After about 20 minutes of nut scratching, he will then announce that he will have to back order that part, and you can pick it up in 10 days. Knowing you will never visit that store again, you will then tell him to order 10 of them and you will be back in 10 days to retrieve them. Without paying anything, you will then proceed to get back into your classic Mustang and drive a few more blocks down the street to pep boys where you will repeat your request.

How bout this one? off a 1969 Mustang

dodgestang

Napa, Kunkels, Pepboys, Autozone, Western Auto
in that order


They will all have them in the system and possibly even in stock.

Napa and Kunkels will find it in their system without any issue, the other 3 are hit and miss.
1967 Mustang GT master cylinder
or
1974 Ford Maverick v8 master cylinder

There is no need to buy this online when you can get it from a local parts house dirt cheap

I mean, hell, I've prob got 2 of them brand new sitting in the box in my garage from when I was trying to figure out which MC I wanted to use with my system before settling on the 84 SVO (because I have 4 wheel disc)

The only reason to EVER buy a used and not new or newly rebuilt from a mainstream dealer Master Cylinder IMO is if you are building a concourse correct therobred restoration of something. Otherwise, these are your brakes, buying a used MC of ebay and then putting it in your car seems foolish to me; especially when new parts are so readily available.

Ah hey... I found one on ebay...

1974 Maverick Master Cylinder NOS

$43.50 a good price for this?

plainsmen

Yeah that does make sense..

dodgestang

You don't need a NOS MC.
Why.....

Well
1. you aren't restoring a Maverick to stock specs
2. you should be able to buy it cheaper at the local parts store

Alright cool... I just had not clue how much they were.... I usually find EVERYTHING cheaper on Ebay.... man I saved a LOAD on Christmas presents this year.
