Is this ghetto?

Sup r3v bros,

If I can count on anyone to be critical of my ideas it's you guys.. need some critical thoughts/opinions on one of my ideas.

So I just got a wilwood master and it keeps leaking while sitting sideways. While messing with it the remote adapter for the master cracked... really don't feel like messing with it any more. My plan is to finish drilling all four holes into this:



So I can turn the master 90* so that it's no longer sitting sideways (hopefully sitting upright with the reservoir mounted directly on it will eliminate most of the leakage problems... also, easier bleeding). Do you guys see any potential safety issues with this? It's 1/4" plate that'll be mounted to a Massivebrakes booster delete plate. I really don't see the 1/4" plate bending or breaking... but I guess it doesn't hurt to get second opinions and see what other people think.

Thoughts?

Looks ok to me, but how the hell did you get it to leak? I've have 3 different Wilwood's on mine now and not one has leaked. Strange.

You know the remote adapter that goes on the master? The one with the hose nipple on it? Guess I didn't heat it up enough because it cracked. Very small hairline crack. Gave me a very slow drip (would go through about 1/2 the big reservoir overnight).

PM me your address I'll send you another.

Damn guy, thanks for the offer - but making that 1.3" hole in 1/4" steel wasn't easy :D

Kind of committed to turning that master 90* now :(

Well offer's out there if you change your mind, I've only accumulated about four at this point.

Lol only four... besides, it was the small reservoir that cracked. With the direct mount setup I'll be able to use the big one, which is what I'd prefer anyway. But thanks though bro
