Well, I posted video a while back (before my welder broke <grumble/>) with some shots of the master cylinder bracket, and the transmission mount, but here are a couple of photos for you.
The master cylinder bracket was an excellent purchase, I’m so glad I just spent the money, rather than continuing to fight with it, as it took five minutes to put this in, and I realized that my design would have had several problems!
The Transmission crossmember should work really pretty good though, I need to drill four holes, and finish welding it up, and it should be ready to go.
Can you tell me why you chose the master cylinder without the booster? I have a 53 and I want to get rid of the stock master cylinder as it scares me to have a single MC. Any thoughts? Thanks Dave
Hi Dave,
I decided to go this route for a couple of reasons. I like the simplicity of manual brakes, and with the proper brake pedal ratio, they are as safe as power brakes. Secondly, this way I don’t have to plumb vacuum lines, or worry about them getting cut or kinked.
I will see how they behave once it’s on the road, but I think it’ll be fine. I did spend a considerable amount of time talking with people at SSBC and Master Power, etc. before I went this route.
Take care,
Ben
