Guess you weren't around. Both the Ford & GM adapted masters from a variety 
of vendors often suffer from a too-small plastic bushing in the adapter, that 
is supposed to guide the outer rod between the MS and booster. Under the heat 
in our front trunks, the bushing swells, grabs the rod and the brakes 
semi-lock. On PCNC runs over the years, I've reamed out two adapters withj a jack-knife 
(what else?) on the road- the last in Russ Britschgi's machine. FWIW- J
