claybill Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 i have acquired a new 60's style vacuum power assist and a dual master cyl. i wanted to put this on my plymouths somehow...bu they require suspended pedals rather than floor pushers. h-m-m-m--mm there must be a way to solve this! ideas? i saw a previous thread with a confusing set of photos..??.(not clear tho) what do you think? coatney..ideas? bill 2 years ago i bought a 48 sedan with a complete set of disc brakes up front..an amatuer set-up. i have all the parts#, it needs some replaced. i would like to get my $75. back!! it is removed from car but too heavy to ship the stuff....anyone near northern ill/iowa need this stuff?

Plymouthy Adams Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 lots of vehicles had under the floor brake booster...the 54 was the first Plymouth with this feature... Quote
Don Coatney Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 I think I would not do this swing pedal conversion the same way it was done in a recent posting. Problem with converting to swing pedals is how to make the clutch work. Converting to a hydraulically actuated clutch would work but it would take some design work. Better yet go with an automatic transmission and then there are no clutch worries. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 just remember that SHOULD you convert to hydraulics..besure the master and slave are matched..CC for CC... Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Bill, not sure but I believe ECI sells both types. Regular under floor dual MC or one with a vac assist for power brakes for our cars, that is a direct bolt in. That said, you could ship that disc brake setup by UPS or FedEx if the buyer is willing to pay the freight charges. I had the complete setup, Brackets, hubs, rotors, bearings, calipers, pads, hoses and residual valves shipped to me from ECI when I did my conversion. Cost me about $60 back then. You can probably add about 15 or 20% to that charge today with their fuel charge and rate increases. It all came in two or three cardboard boxes. The only thing I had to buy from the store was brake fluid. Quote
claybill Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 i am just trying to use what i have.... the vac assist is a firewall mount unit for suspended pedals........i guess i'll put it up for sale too.. bill go STEELERS Quote

Don Coatney Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 When Ben was about 5 years old I worked with his dad in Ohio. Ben would toss the football around with my kids who were about twice his age then and he was very good. My wife babysat him a few times. It was good to see him win again today. Quote
