Default Master cylinder conversion

Guys-

I am in the process of converting a '36 to hydraulic brakes. I have been using floaters on the brakes for some time but it seems like they have a constant demand for being adjusted which is no long "fun."

While searching the archives I came across an excellent response to a question that "Mart" made in regards to a dual chamber m/c set-up:

"If a supplier were to arrange a 1-1/16" dual cylinder with built in residual valves, nice easy to access reservoir and a three bolt fixing like the original, then kit it out with outlets so a 1/4 pipe would screw straight in, plus a port for the brake light switch then they would sell like hot cakes to the early ford squad." (7-28-14)

Anyone ever find something close or possibly a "workable" 1-1/16" m/c like Mart suggested?

Thanks

Tom
