Hot Rods Need dual master cylinder replacment for 40 -52 ford

Hello,
I am wanting to replace a single ford master cylinder with a dual. The single cylinder I currently have is part #91A-2140. From looking up this part it appears as if it was used on most ford cars from 40-52 and trucks 39-48. I still have drums front and back. I just want to have the safety of the dual cylinder in case a line or wheel cylinder fails. Is there a bolt on replacement? I understand I will have to redo the lines.
Thanks,
Vern

 

1972 Mustang with drum brakes front and rear, worked for me.

 

^^^what he said--anywehere from 65-72 will work disc/drum or drum/drum. chassis engineering and several other folks make a cheapish bold on adapter, although it's pretty simple and you could make your own.

 

The Ford master cylinders have nice interchange. I had a '63 Ford Unibody a few years ago and upgraded to a dual master cylinder from a late-60's Mustang. There are really two things to check when doing a swap:

1) Make sure your brake types match. e.g.: If your car is drum/drum, get a drum/drum replacement master. If it's disc/drum then get disc/drum.
2) Match your bore sizing. Your current master is a 1 1/16" bore, so look for that in your replacement master to keep a similar pedal feel.

Hope that helps!
