49 Caddy

I had 1951 Dodge 2-ton dump truck rear step-down brake cylinders re-done by White Post Restorations and have had no problems. Quality work in my books.

You guys seem pretty knowledgeable about this model year Caddy. It is the frame mount master they sent me that is not giving me any wiggle room. Any chance you've got any recommendations on how to modify the 54 power steering column & pump I have? This brake set-up might make it impossible for me to do that now. That gear assembly is larger than standard steering gearbox.

Thanks for the responses. I will post photos of the pieces that are not fitting. I was just out in the shop pulling the brake pedal so I have a clean runway to start. Not too happy about a company (Caddy Daddy) claiming to have a kit to fit a 49 Cadillac when in fact it fits anything. Could have just went to a Speed Shop & bought one for half the price.

You can GOOGLE Caddy Daddy electronic brake conversion & it will come up. Sorry, I don't know how to post a link yet. Supposed to generate approx. 6000 psi of pressure. I need the power brakes on the car as my wife is into the car hobby and drives with hand controls. Still have to figure out how to do power steering after that. Hand control issues are taken care of already. I know it's a boat, but she likes it.

Anyone out there familiar with an electronic power brake conversion? Bought this set-up from a Cadillac parts vendor and it does not come with directions, other than how to bleed the system once installed. Supposed to fit my car, but it seems to be too long for where it is supposed to mount on the frame. Have tried Cadillac forums with no results. Any info would greatly be appreciated.
