54 Buick Power brake-frame mount-dual master cylinder-conversion

I know that was a lot of keywords to put in a topic line, but here is the detail:

1954 Buick Century

I am going to replace my stock Treadlevac power brake booster and single chamber master cylinder with a modern dual master cylinder and booster. I have read a lot of the posts on here discussing disk brake and MC conversions, but (unless I missed it) I don't think anyone discussed this option:

Frame mount dual MC with booster

I know this will not be a direct bolt-on, but this looks better than any of the other 'universal' kits I have seen so far. The measurements seem good, the bracket looks awesome for bolting onto the frame, and with a bit of tinkering with the stock pedal linkage, I think this could work.

Comments??

(PS - I am also doing the Scarebird front disk conversion while I am at it - along with all new lines and a completely renewed (but stock) rear brake system.

Sounds good. Those 54 power brakes will either put you in the floor board or the car in front of you. I'd welcome something like this. My only concern is access to the filler caps would end up approximately under the drivers seat. Right?

Hey Lamar.
There is a remote fill kit that you can get a MP Power brakes. I am still waiting to find out if I can adapt it to the same MC as is in this kit from Pete's.

So, I take it by the silence out there, nobody had done this?
