If you guys did front disc brakes and used a 67 mustang mc, how and what did you do to fix the door bc the lid is to high?
 
I have the MC in my '36 5 window. I cut an opening in the floor the size of the MC cap, then welded 3/4" angle iron around the opening and cut a piece of 1/2 plywood and laid inside the angle iron. The carpet padding is the same thickness as the angle iron, so you cut the padding to fit around the assembly and lay the carpet right over the top. A access hole can/will be cut in the carpet. I had floor mats made from the same carpet, so that covers everything. Rod

For a 41 the MC sits right under a major floor cross member. 36 is much easier. I have both.
 
On my '40, I cut the M/C opening larger to allow better access for a pressure bleeding plate. A shallow steel baking pan was then trimmed to clear the Mustang M/C and welded to flat flange metal. A few sheet metal screws secure it in place. The result is a slight bulge in the floor, hardly noticeable when insulation and carpet are installed.
 
I used the Corvette style master cylinder and it is lower and cleared the floor pan in my '40 coupe and 41 pickup..
 
I have an access door but wanted to know if there was another lid that can replace the 67 lid? I have a universal access door
 
Can you send pics to my email?
It seems the transmission cover kinda gets in the way but i can fix that

I made some dies out of plywood and "stamped" out a cover with my press.

I used a E250 master so the cover is a little deeper than normal.

Carpet pad will eventually be adjusted to compensate.

There's an adapter that drops the mc down to Clea the floor nicely if you are using 40 pedal setup ....
