Custom Master Cylinder
any idea on weight differences VS stock? and the peddle feel?
I like the idea for weight loss, but there are some concerns I would have with your system.
1. Lack of redundancy with only having 1 cylinder. I would highly consider going over to a tandem master cylinder. Maintaining a cross chassis brake system configuration (LF + RR, RF + LR) would be highly recommended too as it prevents the car from spinning should you loose brake pressure in one line. Even for a drag setup I think having some redundancy in the brake system is much more important then having slightly less weight.
I am not saying this is what I would use, just providing a link to an aftermarket system like I am talking about.

2. Removing the brake booster will make cylinder matching more critical. Also, because you are no longer getting assistance from a booster, your pedal force will be higher. This potentially leads to more deformation in the brake pedal assembly/firewall mount.
3. The clutch fluid reservoir is part of the stock reservoir. It also has a low fluid warning sensor.
I like it though and it is inspiring me to design up something more targeted at a road race setup.
