New brake setup. I couldn't find a replacement resevoir for the Jag master cylinder for under $200.

This whole setup was $160 shipped to my door.

Re: 48 KB3

I got it on Fleabay. There are a few of them on there. Some 7" some 8". All around the 160 to 200 mark. It depended on the pedal setup. Each one had a different way the pedal came through the floor. It's built well. I bled the master on the bench, put it in the truck and bled the rest with no problems. It will be a month or so at this rate before I get to take it for a ride with the 40 below temps were are going to have for the next few days or more.

I'm so done with winter.

Awesome build. Looks good! I have a 49 kb3. Was thinking of doing something like this. I'll keep checking back for updates.
