Power brake booster for single master cyl?

[AcampoDave]

Two times I've had the anchor pin for the brake shoe return springs snap off the backing plate. The wheel cylnder then blew apart and it was game over. The first time I thought it was a fluke. The second time I quit the single pot stuff forever. How come you don't want to split the line Mr. Hat?

Level got low enough until the brakes failed, and I drove right into my tire rack as I pulled back into the garage. Got really luck both times. Both now have dual masters. Fabbed my own lines on the truck, and bought the pre-fab lines so it looks factory on the Impala.

You guys make a compelling point, therefore, I do believe I will convert to the dual master cylinder. It really does make sense. Thank you for your persistence.

First, I need to finish the motor and get her going.
