We were checking out how to do a MC swap in the '45 and it doesn't llok as though the AD version is going to work in the Art Deco. We're going to modify the stock bracket and that looks good. The problem is the Mustang MC that was recommended has it's lines coming out the wrong side.(passenger side) I need one that can have the lines on the opposite side. This will remain drum/drum.

Pete, with the proper bending tools, brake lines can be easily bent to accomodate that master cylinder.. Where are you going to run the brake lines , on which frame rail ?

Maybe a banjo or 90 if they make one that will fit.

Bill, they're going to be very tight to the tranny if they come out to pass. side. It looks as though the drivers side is the best for the lines, though there's a crossmember not far back from the master as well.

k10 - I don't know what trans you are using but on my 46 with the stock 3 spd there was plenty of room on the passengers side of the master. The lines turn down 90 right out of the master then forward toward the cross member, along the cross member to the passenger side frame rail, then one goes foward and the other back.

It might a little tighter with a 4 spd but I think it should work. Send me a PM if you want some pictures of my setup. I don't have the tecnology to post them here. I have the body off right now so every thing is right out there in the open.

Good Luck
George
