Master cylinder
The second thing we bolted to the car was the master brake cylinder. The refurbished unit (originally from a sierra) cost us about 80 quid from GBS. We unwrapped it and placed it in front of the two sliding slots above the steering column. We wondered which position it needed to be (higher or lower) so just bolted it loosely. The nuts want to be going on the back side of the mount and you will need an Allen key to tighten them, The washers want to be on the Allen key head slide also.
I later learned that the height of the cylinder is apparent to where and how you are routing your brake lines so do not lock your nuts until all your brakes are routed. Make sure the bolts are slack enough to enable movement up and down the slots. This will come in handy later when bending the brake lines.
