Title: Master cylinder swap?
Post by: 47trev on April 12, 2009, 06:01:35 PM

I have a 47 kaiser with a single resevor brake master cylinder.
Has anyone ever swaped one of these out for a dual resevor master cylinder and if so what did you use?

Tom W. from THE FRAZER FRATERNITY has done 2 convertions,

"one a firewall mount, and one a chassis-level substitution....did all the plumbing myself, and they worked well, and both are still in service, over 30 years later!!"
Thanks Tom W.

It was Tom W. who did it 30 years ago. I'm looking at new technology from people like "Wilwood"

When I get to it I'll talk to "Sierra Specialty Automotive" for the details so I get it right...Already had brakes go out on a Frazer...
