Re: ok so what the hell is a radial master exactly
Yes, there are 2 different kinds of masters.
Radial masters have the piston travel running parallel to the direction of the pull on the lever (perpendicular to the clip-on).
Regular masters (I'm not sure what the exact term is for them) have the piston travel running parallel to the clip-on.
^ That's probably even more confusing to you, so I'll try to find some pictures. This might explain it for you, but I'm sure someone on here has pictures since I'm too lazy to look right now.

Yes, the 05 636 has a radial master and an F2 has the other type.
Just to clear it up, though, radial refers to the piston on the master itself. Do not confuse that with the fact that the F2 master cylinder has the reservoir attached as part of the master whereas the 05 636 has the reservoir connected to the master with a hose.
