You're a clever fella! I would have thought a late sixties falcon master cylinder XT-XW would have been suitable...
As mentioned in an earlier post I deleted my Vacuum booster a few months ago due to the chatter of the 12v vacuum pump. I changed the 1" Master cylinder for a 7/8" and I could still do with a bit more pedal travel so decided I need a 3/4" MC ( same diameter as used on the single circuit non boosted Series .)
Mine being a Dual Circuit I don't want to revert to single circuit brakes as its Engineered with dual. There is no 3/4 Dual Circuit LandRover MC , I had a quote from Power Brakes in Adelaide , $850 , to sleeve down to 3/4" & manufacture new internals. They advised look for a 3/4" from another brand.
After looking at hundreds of Master Cylinders I found the Datsun 120Y , of all things . Same era , same brake technology . Still have clearance under bonnet for reservoir , Only problem is the flange mount is vertical instead of horizontal so made up new adaptor plate from 20mm plate.
Bonus is they have bleed nipples on the MC , so it will be a single person brake bleed.
Just need to make new bundy pipes with 10mm nuts .
Not a bad solution for $95.00 (if it works)
The existing 7/8" MC on the 'Booster delete plate'
Note master cylinder is mounted 'above centre' as the revised pedal pushrod pivot is closer to the top
3/4" 120Y MC compared to the old LandRover 1" MC
New adaptor plate under construction
Obviously my measuring skills are below average, never mind , it fits.
stay tuned for next episode.

Cheers, I did look last those , but they are 1" diameter , as were the Holden ones . 7/8" are pretty common too. 3/4" Dual circuit are few & far between , Mazda had one with horizontal flange but the reservoir was too tall , I only have 20mm clearance to under bonnet lid.
Yes you could use that as a speedo driver, esp since that is its intended purpose.
The powerwatcher is my android trip computer, tells me how much 'juice left in the tank' & gives stats on energy consumption and amount regenerated etc.
