For updating a '49-'54 Chevy to a dual master cylinder The Filling Station has a mount available where they modify the existing master cylinder into a mount for the dual cylinder. Has anyone used one of these?? Do they work out okay? Click on the picture to supersize it. http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb...~S3FJ0ZH6EN70126118514a~Z5Z5Z5~Z5Z5Z50000014x#
I built one like that myself. Mine seems to work ok. I have a v-8 in my car and the exhaust is pretty close to the brake lines though.
I have used alot of ECI products on other cars but this '50 Chevy Fleetline has the clutch and brake pedal pivots right on the master cylinder and I want to keep it that way for now. Thanks TIMMY P, I am figuring on making one.
I built my own that looks identical to the one The Filling Station sells, using my stock m/c as the base. It took a bit of work, but it was a fun project and works great.
where was this thread a couple weeks ago?! no i ended up fabn up a bracket to use stock pedals. i used a corvette mc for the ease of things
I made my own. Way less $$$. I used a 67-76 Vette NON POWER M/C. It keeps the original M/C so nothing changes with your stock pedal location. Todd
Other than the master ends up under the seat it's fine, you have to either change the access or rig up a remote fill. It's even cheaper to just put it on the firewall - if you have a clutch, leave the stock one there for the pivot and unbolt the top of the brake pedal arm.
I had one. It was well-made and worked well. Buffalo Enterprises makes them for Filling Station. I think you can order them direct, but it's the same cost. Filler acces wasnt a big deal. I just cut a new hole. Moving it to the firewall requires reinforcing the firewall.
Thanks DIRTBAG54. I'm going to be calling ECI in the morning to find out more about the EC-440S mount. I like everything else that I've ever purchased from them.
I just spoke to the guy at ECI and after finding out more about the EC-440s I ordered one. $159.95. It bolts in the stock master cylinder mounting holes and has the bushed pivots for both the clutch and brake pedals. The dual master cylinder is going to be great with the front discs I just ordered from Eckler.(President's Day discount) Thanks DIRTBAG54 and everyone else that replied. HAMB is excellent!!
