Hey guys you've helped me tremendously in the past and hope you can help me again. Basically I'm doing the 11" brake upgrade with the 73mm lincoln/svo calipers. I'm gathering all the parts and I've read the Matt GT web page a million times. Here is my question: on the web page it says all 79-86 should use the mid eighties lincoln master cylinder and only use the svo master cylinder if you are going to have rear disc brakes I assume because it has a bigger bore. Also he says that the svo master cylinder requires some adaptors (probably just fittings) to make it work. My problem is I wanted to buy one brand new and the lincoln master cylinder doesn't come with a reservoir and the svo unit does. I haven't been able to find one in the junkyard because 1985 lincolns, mercurys, and ford crown vics seem to be to old for the boneyards around my place. The 1986 svo unit is only 50.00 brand new and comes with the reservoir. Will the svo unit still work fine? I"m keeping the 4 lug drum brakes in the back. Thanks for your help in advance.
