relocate the resiviour. If you have a machine shop nearby im sure they could make you an adapter plate that would shift the resiviour location an inch towards the fender. Simple CNC job really. maybe cost ya about 100 bucks for material and labor.

What's the monstrosity under your hood? What is hitting the master cylinder? It would make things easier to recommend a solution.

kinda, heres what im thinking
(im busting out the uber MSpaint engineering here hold on)

Okay take a block of aluminum say 2"tall, 4"long, 3" wide. Have a shop machine it so that there is a pathway (the yellow) in the shape of an "S". The bottom part goes on your master cylinder, and your top hole is mounted to your resiviour. You might need to tweak the dimmensions to have it meet your needs, but it should work.

You are correct, jrsc mated to an F20b w/blox stg 2 cams, h2b, 01 itr trans, 4.7 FD, all the other bolt on goodies blah blah.

the jrsc has been sitting for about 3 yrs so I said wthell. as for the hood, ya I know. maybe I can find a beat up 00 hood for cheap and make a scoop from it..

Ill get started on the mc trick, maybe I'll be one of the few guys on here with a one of a kinder.. oh ya has a/c too.

Why not change the bracket on the engine or use like a racing brake setup that goes under the dash?

How far does the junk stick up? Maybe make a big bulge in your hood like some of those DSMs have.

im pretty sure you cant just move your master cylinder and have it still function cause if you move the master cylinder your going to have to move the brake booster which you cant do cause it has a push rod connected to your brake pedal??
