NC-car-guy Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) I have here the brake setup from a 55 Roadmaster. Everything included. Vac tank included but not pictured, it has rust through and probably cannot be saved, but could be a pattern? Or just reference for comparison. Also note the nipple is broken on the lower reservoir piece (goes through frame between master and reservoir). Also included as pattern or reference. Master cylinder is pretty clean, although I'd recommend you have it sleeved. Vacuum unit has good internals, but some pitting inside towards the back (See pics). All exterior surfaces have been cleaned and primed. If you need more specific photos, please ask. I'm asking $150 for everything from pedal to vac tank. I can leave it torn down for ease of shipping or reassemble for you. Disclaimer: I am marketing these as a parts set. Up to you to rebuild, use for parts, etc. Edited April 4, 2018 by wndsofchng06 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemon Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 1 hour ago, wndsofchng06 said: Why is that? In most common master cylinders, the piston compresses the volume of the chamber to displace fluid. In these master cylinders, the volume remains constant and the piston displaces the fluid in the reservoir. The piston never touches the side wall of the master cylinder, it floats in the rubber cups and that is the only contact surface the piston sees. So it's a waste to have this type of master cylinder sleeved when it will do nothing. You can rebuild these on the bench with no effort at all. All you need is a rebuild kit with new rubber cups and a new, stainless steel or chrome piston. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the bottom mounting brackets are what I meant. I'll pull the drums out ans measure, they looked good, but whats the minimum measurement to allow another cut.

MrEarl Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Can these be measured close enough with a tape measure or is a caliper needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
