Help with Power Brakes '57 3100
Hello....I am re-doing the brakes on my '57...it has been upgraded with a later style power brake booster, etc....I have 2 questions I was hoping someone could help me with....1) Any idea what this booster is off of?...It is marked Bendix 11869 but I cannot find a reference online....the truck has a custom brake pedal asm and I was was hoping for a direct replacement booster....bolt hole spacing is 3 1/4(width) and 3 1/2(height....2) When looking at replacement master cyl/brake booster I see that most have the proportioning valve mounted to the brake asm...mine is mounted low on my frame..does it matter?
thank you!!

Re: Help with Power Brakes '57 3100
I haven't a clue what what booster would have come from. Google and Rockauto.com are both as clueless as I am.
This might be a good time to upgrade to hydroboost  I don't think there is any problem with having your prop valve mounted low. Certainly a lot of us have them mounted down by the frame rail as that's where a lot of us have the MC.

Re: Help with Power Brakes '57 3100
Four bolt holes on the master makes it look like Mopar. Pictures on Ebay from E body, Cuda/Challenger, look similar.
  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rebuilt-Bend...0d369d&vxp=mtr This should help narrow the field some. Are there any number on the master cylinder? What else is on the booster? Last edited by 1project2many; 03-08-2015 at 02:18 PM. |

Re: Help with Power Brakes '57 3100
Hello.....so....I will be replace my master cylinder/booster this weekend....I will also be replacing the brake lines & proportioning valve as well....you can see from the pictures it is a mess...question....on my master cylinder which portion should I connect the front brakes too?....the most forward position?...i.e. closest to the front?..originally fronts where connected to the rear but I am not sure if this is correct....
thank you... |

Re: Help with Power Brakes '57 3100
In my experience, you want discs connected to the larger reservoir of the two, and drums connected to the smaller one.
