Thanks Dave , that's great. I have to say my welds are pretty dire too. I thought that it was a farm repair after a collision but perhaps that's how it came.
I will measure her up tonight and let you know.
Thanks

Hiya,
I can't read your document...perhaps because I only have OpenOffice for "word" documents. But, I get what you're asking and my frame was handy so I made a measurement.

I measure the frame rail width to be 2 inches, and the bracket that is welded to the inner frame rail sticks out (toward the center of the vehicle) by another 3/8 inches.

So, the outer face of the frame rail to the mounting face of the master cylinder bracket is 2.375 inches.

I will add as an aside, the welding was pretty darn sloppy, so it could be your bracket is fine, just original sloppy welds.
Good luck!
Dave

Hi everyone, since my last message when I discovered that my frame was bent I have stripped the jeep down to nothing in order to straighten it.
I have discovered that there is a repair close to the plate that supports the brake master cylinder.
I am not convinced that it has been fitted correctly and that the cylinder does not line up true with the pedal arm. I wondered if someone could take some measurements for me.
Basically I need the distance from the outside of the frame to the face of the master cylinder plate. Or the inside face of the frame to the same plate.
I have added a Word document with a basic plan in the hope that it helps clarify what I require.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks
