New brake system

[Tired iron]

Lookie what I just put in my meadowbrook. It was all bad, so I had to replace everything: lines, master and wheel cylinders,  so I thought I upgrade to a dual circuit master.

 

I was able to do the entire thing for 300 bucks. And, for those of you going down this road, the 3/16 nicop tubing kits you see all over ebay  are just the ticket. The 25 feet of tubing is just enough and the fitting kit contained all the connectors I needed.

I am in the process of doing my brakes.  How did you handle the brake pedal?

looks great and safer. i have those same tubing kits and i want to use them to put my power brake booster back in my 54 windsor. i did this job on a 53 imperial but as i get older the thought of these projects becomes less appealing. i had the booster rebuilt last year so i will get to this soon. all the parts are clean and ready to go. all they need are me. hope your brakes are working great. i have an adjusting tool i bought from keith b. so i will take care of that too. i never did get them adjusted well and they are weak, so looking forward to power brakes and better adjusted for better braking.    capt den

That was the hardest part, and, to be honest,  I just got lucky. Someone on CL had a pedal assembly out of a suburban, I think it was, that had roughly the right dimensions. 

 

It took some fiddling and some cutting, but I was able to get it bolted up to the firewall and the front edge to the underside of the dash.

 

The brake pedal is a bit too close to the clutch to my liking, so I'll deal with that. But a bonus was a brake light switch on the pedal assembly so I was able to delete the brake light pressure sensor switch back by the rear axle.
