2) The push rod had to be extended. I sold my black truck, and for some reason never got pics of the rod. I cut the stock rod in half, then welded more rod between the two. I still retained the adjuster part of the rod. Once the master is installed, and the pedal is in it's released position (check your bump stops too) you want the tip of the rod to be about 1/16" to 1/8" max away from the piston. 3) I purchased some straight pieces of line from my local fittings store (or a speed shop).....it came with ends. Bent them and double flared them myself.

On the '60-'62's you will need to drill holes to bolt up a '63 and newer master cylinder

Re: HOW TO: Split the brake lines (many have asked)
Don't know if it's cool to bring this back up but I'm thinking that I really want to do this when I put my truck back together in a week or two. I get the concept with blocking off the one T and the split but where I'm lost is the push rod... anybody have clever ideas on how to make a good pushrod? Would a pushrod like this work? Any thoughts on where to get the parts it does?
Thanks! Barry |

Re: HOW TO: Split the brake lines (many have asked)
You can use your old master cylinder's push rod. If it is addjustable then addjust it out,if it is not you can have some one cut it and weld it. Or you can get an addustable one from speedway or a used one from the wreckers.
The push rod that is in the link will not work I used that type on my clutch master it had a pushrod with a threded end.
