Technical change over to juice brakes

Hi guys ! need some tech info on change over to juice brakes on my 36 ford. The wheels are no problem but can someone tell me how I can mount the master cylinder ? Is there a kit to do this ? Can I use say a 40 petal ***y to accomplish this ? Many thaks Mercuryguy

 

Try contacting Richard Lacy at earlyv8@aol.com (mail), (626) 338-2282. Relative to your comment on the '40 pedal ***embly, I believe most guys use the '39 due to the location of the clutch lever (I still recommend contacting Richard Lacy).

I'd say find a complete 39 Ford brake and clutch pedal ***embly. Other than opening the hole in the crossmember a little, it's basically a bolt-in.

A 40 ***embly is different and would need you to change the clutch throwout shaft. Lots more work.

 

Are you sure you want to take a step down in reliability like that? Brakes are important, after all.

 

Thanks Guys for the imput Mercuryguy

When researching the same think I found this thread which mentions a bracket and your stock pedals. Maybe it will help.

Like Charlie says

 

If you manage to find the 39 pedal ***embly you will also need the clutch actuating arm (shiny black in the picture) if your using the stock 36 transmission. Reproductions are available, but if you have a chance to get it too, grab it. I wish I would have been told this before I converted, so I'm p***ing the info on now.



Here is another picture of my installation in case someone needs more for reference.

 

Scribe, why do you need a 39 transmission arm? Is the 36 too short?

 

Yeah i would modify your existing pedal. I've done a few that way. And used a master cylinder from a slightly off topic 68 Ford F100 with drum brakes. 7:1 ratio on your brake pedal.
