| | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 564 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 564 | My '62 Suburban has the hydraulic clutch and a single reservoir brake master integrated together. I need to convert it to a dual reservoir brake master, and keep the hydraulic clutch.
Anyone got any tips, pointers and suggestions?
Keeping the single res. brake master is NOT an option.
Thanks for any input,
-Brad

I got one for about $50. Mounting it is the trick. I went to a metal working shop and had them drill three holes in a piece of plate steel to match the mating/mounting surface of the master cylinder. Then I cut and welded the rest at home. If you can't do that, you can build your mount from cardboard and take it to a metalworking shop and they'll put it together for you for pretty cheap. Lots cheaper than paying someone else to do the same thing.

CPP's website is a good place to start to get some ideas. What i'd do is go to a junk yard, find a truck of a similar size/weight and pull the master cylinder and combination valve. Alternately, go to autozone/napa etc... and buy a dual master cylinder and combination valve from a similar size weight truck from a newer year.
