    I have a 71 cj that needs a new master cylinder. cant find the exact one, is there any options out there? The old one is a dual reservoir with 3/8" line fittings. The one that the part houses say will work has 1/2" line fittings. Really need Help! No rebuild kits are availible either. they said they could send it in and rebuild for some unbelievible price.

    Might try hermtheoverdriveguy.com or ATV Mfg. (same person). He uses them in his dual reservoir conversion. Or maybe use adapters.

    wish I could use adapters but with the v6 the exhaust is in the way.

    I called my local NAPA and their computer had it listed as obsolete, and couldn't get any.

    :(
