Default Re: Vintage C Body Disc Brake Conversion

This is probably the trickiest part of this disc brake conversion. There is little or no room for a dual master cyl. Chrysler used two types of power brake boosters, a bellows type and a canister type. The bellows type has a little more room to play with but my car had the canister type.

In order to get at the area to install the master cyl, the drivers side ram manifold had to be removed;



This is where the cyl has to go:



Needless to say clearance is tight and AAJ had to modify a stock Chrysler dual master using two side mounted bales.



I had to make an additional modification as I could not get the lid off when the cyl was installed, so I had to elongate the holes to drop the cyl. down about 1/8 inch.



After bench bleeding it was ready to install.
