	Don't know where to start really, I need a Brake master cylinder, with my limited space constraints, I don't have room for a dual circuit master cylinder in the traditional position, No servo either. My braking consists of Tokico 6 pot callipers and bike discs, an the rear I have Mini Drums using 0.75 single cylinders on each side. My options are going to be a balance bar and dual cylinders, but, 0.625 cylinders (which are the smallest I can find) might be too big, Personally I think .7 is as big as I want to go with a single cylinder, I would rather have a long pedal with feel than a hard dead pedal. or find a dual circuit master cylinder to suit and make a bell crank system so I can use it, Suggestions gentlemen please...............................................................

	I had a e34 master cylinder on my Cortina without servo, bolted onto the bulkhead via an adaptor plate, worked really well, The logic behind fitting that cylinder was, the BM had 4 pots on the front and single pots on the back, very similar to the setup on my Cortina, my problem I don't know of a car to look at and say mini drums at the rear and Motorbike 6 pots on the front, then use its M/cyl... I wont be using a servo for several reasons, No real Vacuum from the engine, it takes up far too much space in a very small car, and a servo lessens brake feel, and as I am running narrow tires on a very light car and big brakes, I really need to be able to feel the brake pedal.
