Is there a vented 10" rotor that fits the Alpine hub and lines up with a "spaced" Alpine caliper?
Steve. Where did you source the individual reservoirs for your master cyl? I don't see them listed on the Rockauto site?John,
I'm using a dual master from a Nissan F-10. I sourced it from Rock Auto, if memory serves.
Here's a shot of it in the car with the V6.
Cheers!

I received the banjo fitting today, and they worked great. The bolt is 10mm x 1.25 and banjo is 3/8 24 inverted flare out. I also made a push-rod from a grade 8 bolt. jzuk7 with the fitting it is a little over 2 1/2 inches from center to outside of bolt, you could gain an 1/8 inch with a smaller headed bolt. Remember I am running a Miata motor and have a lot of room on the motor side.
Well, top brake line outlets are used, in fact, they are currently on my car.My understanding is that any air bubbles in the MC need to be able to rise into the reservoirs when the MC piston(s) is fully retracted and the reservoir port(s) is open. Slightly tilted might still work, but...
Seems like having the discharge port(s) on top would result in any air bubbles being pushed into the brake lines rather than escaping back into the reservoir(s).
For the V6 guys, I think I would look at a bell crank system and just move the M/C parallel to the fire wall away from the motor.
