I’m looking at a FTE master cylinder for my 1974 -4, and website says it’s for a 70-70 six, and is not compatible with my car.
I’m curious as hat the difference is between the -6 and -4. I rebuilt my complete brake system including an ATe master cylinder two years ago, and now needing to replace the it already. Was told the FTE unit had silicon seals and would withstand the heat better than seals in the ATe. Your thoughts are appreciated |

I use the 23 but I like a stiff pedal, oh, and I use Brembo Alfa front and Mercedes rear calipers.
I have a new uninstalled Ate 19mm that I purchased late last year before I found the 23mm----$200 +shipping? |

I’ve located and purchased a FTE 19 mm, so I’m good. |
