Ok, I searched and found the thread about the master cylinder, it sounds about the same as mine  all my brake parts are new, I have drums all around and my brake pedal is very hard but only seems to get that way after driving a bit.  Does anyone know for sure what dual master cylinder will work?

  Just my 2 cents, but the shaft that pushes the master cylinder may be too tight causing the fluid to get hot, which causes the hard pedal!!!   John--Charlie-- Steve--etc,,etc  what do you guys think??   Maybe something to check.

Thats for sure! My shaft is a little long and it does the same thing. Sometimes I pull up on the brake pedal with my toes and it loosens up. I'll swap for the shorter (original) shaft and see what happens. Chuck in NH

Yup I did that. The rod with the later dual master cylinder was a bit longer so It takes away some of the play. I think the old rod will work but need a "round to it" to get going. Chuck in NH

Can't you use the old push rod with the new master cylinder?

Regarding a dual master cylinder replacement.Item # 330337845761 on Epay is a power booster-master combo.I have just phoned the seller to order 2 of these for my 56 and my buddies 55.I asked a couple of previous buyers and got good response about the product and the seller.If you contact him by phone at 575-544-4729(Dave) and pay without using Paypal you may get a better price.I have had enough of the manual brakes.For now I will keep the drums and upgrade later to the discs on front.Why add a dual master and still have manual brakes when for not a whole lot more you could add power?Just my opinion!

I can vouch for the seller AND his products.  I bought one combo set for my '55 and another for my '59.  They are MBM units (made in the USA) and they work VERY well.  I had the '59 Galaxie out tonight and made a few 55mph panic stops.  The brakes did great.

On two occassions I called Dave's number.  Dave was there both times to answer questions.  He knows his products and is very helpful.  I don't know how anyone can beat his prices as they have come down by nearly $100/combo in the past year.

Let me know if you want to see pics of my brake installation.  I used my original '59 spindles, and bought the spindle bracket (on eBay) that holds S-10 calipers around 11" Mustang rotors.  With Oldirishdave's booster and M/C, these brakes will put you through the windshield with no exageration. 

Another feature I like about his 7" two-stage boosters; they allow enough room for electric windshield wipers (from New Port Engineering) on the '59 Galaxie.  Both are next to each other in the engine bay.  His boosters also clear my 292 Y-Block exhaust manifold!

I haven't got the '55 on the road yet.  I bought that booster & M/C unit a year ago for $300 (from Dave).  On both cars, I discarded that stupid brake light pressure switch, and mounted a real spring-return switch at the brake pedal.  Now my brake lights come on immediately, as I touch the pedal.

Royal Oak, Michigan (Four miles north of Detroit, and 12 miles NORTH of Windsor, Canada).  That's right, we're north of Canada.
