Willwood master looks so much nicer.

Just installed one in my 71. It was their "Street Prep" version with the "Machined Aluminum Show Finish" Accumulator. Installed a new Wilwood M/C to go along with it. Very expensive, but was worth it to me. Had some trouble getting factory clevis to reach the brake pedal so brake pedal height could be properly adjusted, so I ended up ordering a longer clevis from McMaster-Carr to resolve that issue. Everything else installed smoothly. Overall, very satisfied with their kit..
