Up to you, but I have learned never to trust the term "universal" when it comes to C3s.

Can you message the seller and ask?

Hi,
The description has the always popular "I'm not responsible for anything" clause...."some modification may be necessary".
Regards,

thanks for the help

Im thinking it should work as long as the 4 mounting bolts fit and the threaded rod is similar in length, assuming the master cylinder and pushrod bolt up and work properly together. worth a shot??

has anyone installed a dual diaphram booster? what would the significance be performace wise?
