mjhcobra,
My EM Cobra was built around 1995 by a previous owner, but I took it apart and rebuilt it in 2004. My car has 1987 Corvette suspension and brakes. The brake pedal/clutch assembly is one piece with adjustable front/rear brake bias. The gas pedal is separate. The original master cylinders were Tilton manual pieces in aluminum. I developed a leak due to poor alignment of the rods from the brake pedal to the master cylinder wearing on the aluminum, so I replaced them with CNC brand steel master cylinders with good results. I have mounted CNC remote aluminum reservoirs on the fender well to make it easier to change brake fluid before track events. I have nothing against plastic reservoirs in general, but I have seen some two piece plastic reservoirs that seem very prone to leaks where the pieces mate together. The other thing to consider is the effect of heat from your exhaust on the master cylinders and reservoirs. ... As far as manual brakes go, I like mine. I have driven my car very hard on tracks where hard braking is required and the manual brakes worked fine.
