McGaughys makes a 7" and 9" booster for drum brakes. It does come with a new master cylinder as well.

So if a guy bought one of these boosters for his drum brakes and later decides to convert to disc up front will these boosters and master cylinder still work ?
Thanks, Mike

No, the drum master is specific to drum and has a little different specs than a disc master. It is best to match up the master cylinder to the front brakes you have. For example, if you have disc/disc and or disc/drum, then it is best to get a disc master cylinder.
