Try Pat Wilson's, I just had a dual MC put in , cost of the unit about $75.00 +$10. for a value that goes with it. I believe this is what you are asking?

These short brake lines between the MC and the prop valve are a real pain. I spent all day and swore a lot, but it is in and it fits with the brace and room to spare.

Wow, this is awesome. Is this a new product from Wilwood? Which one did you select to fit the Tbird?

It is the 1 1/8" bore "compact" dual master cylinder with adjustable proportioning valve kit. I gave the model number a couple pages back.

I've also got Wilwood discs in the back, for drum brakes you will need to add a residual pressure valve for the rears. Not sure if a 1" bore would be better for those.

I was able to get a neat fit in the single/dual conversion. Tight near the shock tower, avoid advice to alter shock tower. There are a couple of other fixes, that work as well, without damaging the tower.
