I swapped the Demon over to modern Mopar aluminum master cylinder. It's really light weight and semi compact. I am running non power though. I saw something called Hydroboost or something like that in a street rod mag a while back that was really small and worked like a booster between the master cylinder and the fire wall.

Anyone can restore a car, it takes a real man to cut one up.

Hydroboost is powered by the power steering pump. Usually see it on heavy pickup truck and diesel engines.

i thought i had seen a racecar version constructed of aluminum and was curious if anyone knew of the company or a source for them. i think i might rework the position of the mastercylinder on the pedal to lower the pedal effort a little.  |
