Hey mate from memory I got a datsun 120y master cylinder and made up a bracket that made it fix straight to the firewall cut down the rod thats normally connected to the booster and worked a treat

Or use an 1100cc MK1 Escort master cylinder (non boosted) which also bolts directly to firewall. No mods required. I have one if interested.

That's what I used, an early non-boosted mk1 master. Just change the lines and it all bolts up nice.

Yes, it will bolt straight up and you'll just need to shorten the pushrod.
