hi everyone, I recently came into a 1951 B3B Pilothouse. It runs ...sort of... but planning on doing a major overhaul. Also, this is my first restoration project, so taking it as a learning experience too. I apologize in advance for any painfully newbie questions. Anyway, there's a rupture in the brake line somewhere and the pedal has zero pressure. I'm replacing most of the brake system and going with Rustyhope's front disc conversion. So far so good. The question is: what have folks here used as a replacement master cylinder for the disc/drum setup? I know the original MC *can* work, but mine's not in great shape and I figured a new dual cylinder would perform better anyway. What experiences have others had? Is it a pain to run another brake line from the cylinder to the front wheels? thanks Desmond

So I got a 1948 P15 a couple months ago and realized the brakes weren't doing so well. I replaced all the wheel cyliders, the shoes and a drum. Then I thought the master might not be so hot so I tried to take it off the car to rebuild it....which was much harder than I thought. It probably took me about 8 hours to get it off of there and I've probably spent the same trying to get it back on. The issue is I cannot get the pedals back through the holes in the floor and on the mc at the same time. If I put both pedals on the mc, the tops of the pedal arms hit the top part of the hole. If I put both pedals through the holes first and then try to get them on the mc, the angle is too extreme for them to fit. This must be doable, do I need to remove the floor? I believe whoever restored the car replaced the floor there and riveted it down. He also glued the carpet to it so I can't see underneath unless I rip it up. Perhaps are the holes in the floor cut smaller than the originals? Am I missing something? Can I remove the pegs the pedal arms mount to on the mc? Any help would be appreciated. Matt

Hello all found a large puddle of brake fluid on the ground today. Brake pedal went to the floor mostly. Leaking seal? This fix it? https://www.napacanada.com/en/p/NUP143
