I have a Master cylinder I bought for my '49, and a fellow wants to know if it will fit a '54. When the brakes changed in 1950 or so, did they change to a different master then? The one I have is 1". Wasn't there a 1 1/8" master used too?

Thanks for the info.

Yes, when the brakes went from Huck to Bendix, the master cylinder changed from 1" to 1 1/8" bore
