I made my own kit. I used a wilwood tandem master cylinder with part # 260-4894 that I purchased on ebay. I believe it is supposed to fit a chrysler, but I was able to fab it up without too much difficulty.
Good luck

To me it was worth the $140 to but the complete kit from Eric at Midwest Chassis. It uses the Strange 1.25" bore master, which is like $120 from Jegs, so getting the complete kit is a pretty good bargain.

pmbmax, do you have to make an adapter plate for the chyrsler manual mc? im wanting to do a manual brake setup aswell.. my only concern is finding the correct bore size. I have aerospace drag brakes all around. any idea on what bore size would be correct for a swap like this? i noticed the wildwood one above is 1.0625 or 1-1/16" if that would work and all i have to do is figure out how to mount it, that'd be great
thanks
thanks

yes i have the engine bay completely stripped down to nothing right now, and i figure i will be able to make a plate to bolt the master to the firewall, but wasnt sure if theres a specific thickness needed, and as far as the pedal goes, that shouldnt be a problem, i have to pull the pedals out anyways, i used to have an m6 and still got the clutch pedal, so i should probably switch to an auto pedal set while im at it. i guess the next main question at hand would be is there a specific thickness needed in an adapter plate to maintain correct geometry, and the bore size on the chrysler is correct?
