I know cutting the firewall is one way of doing this, my question is, has anyone ever tried lopping off the res/pivot area and welding on a dual master piston assembly? It seems very doable. I know welding cast iron isn't exactly ideal, but it seems like a viable option for a conversion. Obviously you'll have to make sure the reservoir is always full because it will be a small capacity. Just a thought. I may try doing this.

Re: 61 Master Cylinder conversion?
Anything is possible. Brazing would be a better choice imo. A remote reservoir would increase capacity and make it easier to monitor fluid level.

It is going to be new if I remembered your story published elsewhere.
Re: 61 Master Cylinder conversion?
A guy on a VW site has a 60 Corvair and upgraded the master cylinder with one from a VW Jetta after making a bracket for it.
