Guys,

What is the best replacement master cylinder for the original Lockheed caliper? I converted my Atlas over to a Commando front end and used a Honda MC, but it's not cutting it. I have the Brembo Master from CNW on my Commando and Ducati and it works just fine. Is there a better option? Thanks!!!

It's not the brand, it's the size that counts. You can have a GP master cylinder costing thousands of dollars, but if it is the wrong size it will be crap. Simple hydraulics. You want about a 27:1 ratio between the caliper piston area and the master cylinder piston area for a single caliper setup. Check with Vintage Brake. He knows brakes!
 
Madass here's your opportunity. I really like the one you provided and is attached to my '72.
