'59 Plymouth Forum

Okay, so now that I have front AND rear disc brakes on my 59 Suburban.......I think I need a larger master cylinder for larger fluid volume. I'd prefer to find a four bolt so I won't need to make an adapter plate. Anyone have a recommendation of which master cylinder to use? Vendor and part number too, if you have it. Thanks a lot, Ron

Not having ever tried converting drums to disc, I tried searching the Fl.net site, but came up empty-handed. My search wasn't very thorough however, and I believe you will find someone there who can answer your squestion. Seems like there are mid-60's Mopar dual MC that bolt right up to the 59 pattern.
good luck, let us know what you find

Someone told me one time that if i wanted to upgrade my brakes,(mine are all original), that a late model Dodge Dart master would bolt right in using a proportioning valve, someone else said a Dodge pickup master from the late 70s would work as well,is that site that had the brake upgrades ( i forget the sites address) still around? I recall they had a master for disc brakes......
