Hydraulic Brakes went out!

I look forward to to your opinions-

I would first suggest changing your brake apply system from the pedal pulling through the marginally efficient linkage design to the normal direct/straight push operation of the master cylinder by adding a lug to the bottom of the '34 pedal, as I did with the '34 pedals in my '32.

Next consideration would be the much safer dual master conversion.

Where does one get this lug?

One fabricates it from 1/4" steel and welds to the pedal.

Bob, not to be a complete idiot… but can you show me exactly what you welded, where…

I got my brakes back finally. One of the brand new cylinders failed… anyway I installed the Dual master cylinder- now the brake pedal goes too far down. Almost all the way to the floorboard.

I’m hoping to figure out a way to get them to engage sooner.
