Ty,

You can use the pushrod from the Vega master, but you'll have to disassemble the master to remove it, cut off the washer, and devise a way to keep it in the S-10 master, in case the pedal retracts faster than the MC piston. When I used a Monza master, I siliconed a 1-5/8" freeze plug to the back boss of the master, with a hole drilled in it for the pushrod to pass through. The boss of the S-10 master is quite large, though, so you will need to determine what size of freeze plug to use, and may need to enlarge the hole in the firewall for it to pass through when you mount it.
