Brake help

[gman69]

I'm putting disc on the front of my 59. It is only used for drag racing. What should i use for a master cylinder? I barely have enough room for the original m/c with the fenderwell headers. I'm open to all suggestions or help you may have.

I would put on a mid 60's A body style of dual reservoir style (Dodge Dart) At least that is what I put on my Plymouth. I used a conversion kit from a vendor on the Forward Look site who used F body/M Body front spindle and Calipers. F bodies are Volare/Aspen and M bodies are Diplomats, New Yorkers. That will upgrade you to a split system for safety. I also put a manual adjustable proportioning device on the rear brake lines to dial in the ratio. I like to keep my car as Mopar as I can on upgrades.

Check out my Yahyoo Flickr account link below in my signature line for some of the pictures of the conversion I did. Might be helpful...Then again it might not be too!

A lot of people have used the AAJ brakes conversion kit that allows you to keep the drum spindle and by putting a machined bushing on there allows an upgrade to a GM style of Rotors and Calipers. I will dig up that link for you. www.AAJbrakes.com
