Is there a dual master cylinder that will bolt in place in a 59 Apache? If not, is it a lot of work to mount one?
Thanks.

Most of the usual vendors sell them. There is a good tech tip on this. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 445 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 445 | just use the rod from the hanging brake pedal the one you take the master cyclinder off.You will have too drill new mounting holes in the firewall for the master cyclinder.no need to .buy a adapter.just drill new holes for mounting.things will line up pretty close.never knew they made a adapter for that.just use common scents

The mc is under the floor, so you need a bracket to mount a dual res. master cylinder in the stock location whether you buy one or fab one yourself. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 578 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 578 |
