brakes, brakes...BROKE!!!

hey fellas...working on my 53 Bel air and I'm interested in hearing your suggestions or experience when it comes to rebuilding OR buying a new master cylinder under the drivers floorpan to replace/repair my frozen one. also seeing if you guys have any suggestions as to where i can find such a thing without breaking the bank. would like to hear any of your success stories or failed attempts...my 53 wont be a daily driver for quite some time, but my gut keeps telling me...do it right, or don't do it at all.

 

Rockauto.com!!

Cheapest I've found, and they have everything for the 53!!!

 

there's a bunch of threads on this
you can install a dual circut master under the floor, in the same spot as the stock one. they make brackets for this or you can make your own easy enough.
there's a thread on making the bracket using the pedal mounts from the old master. I believe it's in the rockstars with torque wrenchs group

 

ECI makes a good conversion mount if you have an auto.

 

If you're not too good at fabricating a bracket, check with Buffalo Enterprises. They make a mount using your old master cylinder ***embly.

 

thanks for the advice fellas!! looking into all the options listed above...appreciate the help!
