Hi Guys,
Have any of you guys installed 4w disk brakes on your mustangs?
If so, what (manual) master cylinder did you use?
The '69 F250 mastercylinder listed in the boss 302 chassis book?

I purchased is from Stainless Steel Brakes. It was a long time ago. The one I have doesn't have enough pedal travel. I think they have a new one available now. quote:

I have a related question... installing a SSBC front disc conversion kit today. When I convert to discs on the rear as well (junkyard lincoln swap), will I need a new master cylinder again?------------------

No I don't think you will. All you will need is an extra couple of fittings and a proportioning valve. You can dial it in just perfect with the valve. quote:

if you are running drums on the rear right now and you swap to disks you either need a master cylinder for 4 wheel disks or oyu need to remove the residual check valve from the drum brake port. if you dont you will have the nasty problem of the rears locking up and stying locked untill you release the pressure. trust me it's no fun driving an y distance with the only braking you can do is with the emergency brake!!! ok it's less fun with NO brakes.

I looked at M/C (78 granada manual disk brake) and don't see a way to remove the check valve. How is this done?

I agree with the above. I have the SSB rear disc setup for my 68 and they included a propotioning valve. The 68 has Power discs from the factory, but I would change the existing proportioning valve for the newer adjustable one.

Those late model plastic M.C. are supposed to bolt right in.

Do you still retain the same pedal height? Any differences for different late model MCs?
