Think the TM said it was the Puke Retarder or was it Retarder Puke.

Has anyone had any success in installing a remote reservoir on a split braking system?

Yes, but you need a two part reservoir. I bought mine from a race car supplier. You can Google it. You will still need the "adapter" that takes the place of the plastic reservoir.

This is my master cylinder with the "adapter' installed where the plastic reservoir usually goes. You can see the two lines coming out the top that go to the remote reservoir mounted on my firewall.

Hey, rustystud. Quick question- If you are using the M/C like you have, then, a NON Air Force M/C bracket still works, yes? Since the overall height of the M/C doesn't change, correct?

That's correct. The difference between the brackets is the mounting of the PTO shift lever. Since I don't have a PTO on mine I could use the old style bracket.

THANK YOU to both of you! *off to the basement, to fire up the mill*
Hey, Rustystud... what did you borrow the M/C from? A mid 90's GM Topkick, by chance?

What do you mean "borrow" ? It is the stock Master Cylinder for all Air-Force Deuces. The top adapter though is on several models of medium size trucks. Including a lot of Fords. I also know several GM trucks used it too.

Slang term, my friend. "Borrow"- re: To take/ use from a different source than was originally designed, i.e. The M/C is question, I thought might have been from a Civilian truck, such as a GM TopKick series medium duty chassis, and that you had "borrowed" it to use on your truck. That's all. Either way, THANK YOU for sharing the information regarding the install.

I am aware of the term "borrow" . I just was confused since that is the stock master cylinder for the deuce. I can see with that different top how it might have looked like a different master cylinder though.

Fair enough. I was thinking that maybe there was a civilian version that might be easier to find. I'll try some more "Google FU" and see if that helps any....
