Master Cylinder Kit Compact Side Mount 1 in

The Wilwood Master Cylinder Kit Compact Side Mount 1 in is a purpose-built hydraulic control component designed for custom brake system installations, hot rods, race cars, and modified vehicles where OEM master cylinders won't fit or function. This compact side-mount configuration solves packaging challenges on vehicles with custom firewall layouts, tight engine bays, or relocated pedal assemblies. Mechanics and enthusiasts choose this kit because it delivers reliable pressure modulation in confined spaces without sacrificing stopping power or pedal feel.

Built from aluminum and finished in durable black paint, the master cylinder features a 1-inch bore and 1.120-inch stroke, engineered to generate consistent hydraulic pressure across a range of brake circuit demands. The remote reservoir design separates the fluid storage from the pressure chamber, allowing flexible routing and placement within tight engine compartments while maintaining adequate fluid capacity and heat dissipation. Hose connections accept standard 1/4-inch lines, ensuring compatibility with most aftermarket brake component ecosystems and simplifying integration into existing or new brake layouts.

This kit excels in street rods, vintage race cars, and heavily modified vehicles where space optimization is critical and responsive brake modulation matters. The compact dimensions—10.65 by 2.85 by 13.25 inches—fit where standard cylinders cannot, making it ideal for custom pedal box fabrications, mid-engine conversions, and vehicles with non-traditional brake pedal mounting. Proper installation requires careful line routing and fluid reservoir positioning; consult Wilwood's technical documentation or a qualified brake technician to ensure correct bleeding, pressure balance, and safety compliance before first drive.
