That's an intereting question. My understanding is that the strut mounts deflect very little under normal loads, but that the firewall itself deflects much more so due to the driver's leg pressure on the brake pedal under heavy braking. I had assumed the stability of the strut mounts is what actually shores up the master cylinder, but that same stability prevents load from being transferred to the master cylinder in the other direction. Can anyone confirm my hunch?
