Default Tip for Brake Master Cylinder

Your headers may be cooking your brake master cylinder. Though I made my own, Mancini sells a bolt on heat shield for about $30.

If your headers arent cooking your brake fluid, your rotors sure are.

You know, those cherry red things inboard of the wheels on road race cars? DOT 3 brake fluid can get up to 650 degrees. Brakes get warm. never that warm on a street car, but trucks can literally burn a shoe with flames. A shield will help the rubber parts last longer inside the M/C. Probably a good idea.

May prevent a situation where you step on the brakes and nothing is there. I think my 2 inch pipes are around 3 inches from the M/C. One day after driving around I noticed the M/C was too hot to touch.
