1964 brake master cylinder modification

[stevetheweave1]

I am not familiar with any other cars than 1964 but this was unbelievably easy to modify master cylinder to dual piston master cylinder. Brake lines only needed very minor tweak with bare hands to align. Used original factory distribution block, parts needed were a pipe thread coupler for the brake light switch and I had to make a short piece of brake line to connect distribution block to master cylinder. The master cylinder was from ABS brakes in California and it has ports on the left and right hand sides. I do not have a part number but if you describe to them what I said they will know what you are asking for. I did not install a proportioning valve because I have four wheel drum brakes. I’m sure I could have done a better job but I am just looking at it as an easy safety improvement. If you want something done fast give it to the lazy guy. Tried to post a photo but it would not work will update later.

Strut brace goes back in place with no cutting on it to fit.

That's not bad for a ''lazy guy'' 🙂 , simple is often the best way! Like the idea of using the original T block too.

Hey Steve, I can't make out in the photos what happens to the brake line at the bottom of the picture frame as it goes under the T block?
