"Has anyone tried adapting a conventional PB cylinder on the BTV vacuum?"

The problem is finding such a master cylinder. It would have to be about .655 inch diameter +or- say an 1/8 inch maximum. ALSO such a cylinder would have to have a piston with enuf travel. Also it has to fit into a very tite place. The original factory set up places the end of the MC about 1/4 inch from the frame which is JUST ENUF clearance to allow for body sag and belgium block compliance.
