2nd gen brake master cylinder into GSL-SE???

Yup, like the title says. Is a 2nd gen (88 vert) brake cylinder possible to swap in a GSL-SE? Reason being is because mine went bad and I have access to one for free, would it be possible? Maybe even along with the booster? Thanks!

The output on the castings are different. The internals should be the same, so you could just swap those.

The 2nd gen master and booster have a different bolt pattern to mate them together. The brake booster to body pattern is the same. You will need to oval out the firewall holes for both the clutch and brake master to get enough room for them to fit. All you need is about 3/8" total, 3/16" per master.

I went with the FC master and booster for the big brake install on the widebody. I don't recall if I had to make adjustments on the brake hard lines or not.
