Hi, did anyone ever change the original one way circuit brake of an Buick Electra 225 Year 1960 to an two way circuit brake? Is there anywhere an changing kit available? Or does the master cylinder of any other car ( of course a two way master cylinder) fit on my Buick? I live in the black forest and have two kids - I drive a lot real steep downhill roads. That is why I need to change to the more secure two way system. Please let me know / any help will help me! Bye from Germany / Herby PS: My mastercylinder is an Moraine 5459444 powerbrake cylinder.
Try going to this post: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5363091 There is mention of a master cylinder that worked in this application. Perhaps you can ask there also.
Just need to get the master cylinder from a post-68 Electra - should be available at your friendly auto parts store - plus do the re-plumbing necessary to split the systems.
Oli, This may help: I just finished this conversion on my manual brake '60 Buick LeSabre. Go to V8buick.com , go to cl***ic buicks, click on '60 LeSabre 2 door sedan.............. Steve weim55 Colorado
Do German auto parts stores stock a lot of '60s Buick parts? That said, most later model masters share a common bolt pattern, it's just a matter of sorting out the right pushrod length to make it work.
