Master Cylinder Info

After Sunday's excursion I've found my brakes need looking at.

The pedal's going to the floor and needs pumping in order to stop. The brakes were only just bled when I replaced the rear brake shoes and I can't find any fluid leaks so I'm going to go with replacing the master cylinder.

It occurred to me that I still have the Vitara donor from my engine swap, does anyone have any idea if the Vitara master cylinder will fit or can be made to fit? :weld:

Thanks!

Sweet! Cheers, that would be really helpful. It would be great if I can use existing parts.

I can't find many pics but it's basically a case of enlarging the hole in the bulkhead and some new bolt holes.
