Thanks Ron.

Is this a stepped master cylinder?

Any vendor selling this and the adapter, or what GM car is this from?

I'm about to install a Wilwood prop valve on the front circuit, but I 
should perhaps replace the MC while I'm at it and get a better balance 
to start with? I have calculated that I need about twice the pressure to 
the reasr than to the front with my GT5 brakes. The front piston area is 
almost exactly twice the size of the rear pistons.

I assume I'll have to delete the shuttle valve if I'm installing a 
stepped MC as there will always be a  pressure difference front/rear?
