Projects Remote booster And master cylinder ID

Any one know where this came from or who made it, or what it’s intended application is?

 

I'm thinking that is an added booster for the brakes on some 50's era 1=1/2 ton or so trucks. I've seen similar ones on trucks but don't remember what trucks. Can't ID the filler/Reservoir.

 

^^^^ What he said.... Made by Bendix, I've seen those on a variety of makes.

 

It’s pretty nifty and really solves some issues.
Id like one for my own car

 

I had a 56 T Bird with something similar to that.

 

Brake fluid just went College.

 

Yeahhhh buddy
You’re damn skippy.

 

looks 55-57 tbird to me , they had no room for power brakes because of the battery location ,as an option their fix looked just like that ,

Wasn’t the Tbird booster remote?

 

you guys are the best!
that’s it.

so now the hunt is on!!!
Find a unit, have it restored.
If you’ve got one let me know !

 

In my pics, that red thing is the rear shocks so it’s remote and out of the way

 

Hydroboost, not safe at any speed. Throw it in the iron pile

 

yeah the fruit jar actuates it the rest can technically be anywhere in the car .

I’m going to get one and play around with it

 

Will you be doing a thread while playing with it?

 

I had one of those on my 37 Chevy truck when I first bought it. Not sure if it was an original, I thought it was an aftermarket piece. Long story short, I ****canned that thing, it made terrible brake feel and IMHO did not really add much power ***ist. Had disc front and drum rear brakes. I just went with a dual master cyl and everything was right in the braking world. I just think that remote booster adds complexity that isn't needed for most cases. Brake feel was terrible, since it used the brake pressure to activate the booster, rather than pedal force.

 

Yeah, probably ***le it
Brake fluid goes to college

 

The car it’s on has some really great brakes.

it’s also got a Henry 32 axle, with disc brakes and correct scrub radius and all fits in the fenders.
,,,,, interesting rotors.

 

LMOA!!!
