a guy gave me a rock stomper master but having a hard time finding the fittings to adapt it to old toyota. any other masters that i can put in easier?

I had that setup in an old FJ60 I had. I went to a hydraulics shop and they were able to piece together the fittings. Or if you get on earls fittings it should be pretty easy to find an adapter.

Try a T100 unit. They have a 1 1/16" bore. I've got a 60 front/fj80 ff rear, works awesome!

got ya ill see what i can get.

teguman333 · 05-26-2012, 06:57 PM

will the t100 bolt to the fj booster? i guess that resivior is bigger then stock fj40 cups right?

It will bolt right up to a mini truck booster, I used a small diameter unit from an 85' 4WD truck. I'm not sure about the FJ booster. Would you like the dimentions? The fluid cups are different too, try to get a used one from a junkyard that still has the cups on it. I wrote quite a bit on it, check on the Rock40 Build. Let me know if I can help

Cant you just cut and re-flare the hardline at the master with a standard fitting? Or are you trying to avoid that?
