Default Master Cylinder

Use the one which is on the MX5. This will be the correct size for the calipers etc.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

Yes John the original brake and clutch cylinder is matched to the brakes and is an ideal one to use.

Does the MX5 master cylinder need modifying to be used with the pedal box/ does anyone fabricate a pedal box which will take the MX5 master cylinder ?

The only mod is for the pushrod so you can use the clevis pin with the pedal. There are now details on the updated guide on the Saturn website.
