Using a M726 master cylinder on a M715

[maddawg308]

The worn out rusted up master cylinder I had on my truck was removed and I have a brand new replacement, which I was told fit the M726, and was slightly different. The stock one on my truck had the main brake feed line coming out the bottom, this one is coming out the side. I have pre-bent lines all set to go, but don't mate up. Does anyone use this side-loading master cylinder with a tee adapter to meet up? What do you guys use?

I will look on mine tonight maddawg but I think mine comes out the front. I replaced mine years ago with a lockheed master cyl I think. I will check and post back.

I know thewre are both side and bottom exit masters of the stock type...I dont know the difference other than that but either bending the line a bit, if possible, adding in a piece with a coupler, or using some kind of tee would work.

I think I would add a short piece of new line with a straight coupler and make a nice curve out of the extra on the way to the new termination point.
