dual chamber master
Can someone suggest a dual master cylinder for my 53 customline. I am not going to disc, I just like the safety of 2 chambers.

Re: dual chamber master
This one works good with 40-48 ford brakes,so It would probably work on 53.
It is for manual front and rear drum brakes. Early Mustang. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DHB-M73323/ John |

Chassis Engineering
has this mount for 41-48 Fords to mount the Mustang M/C. Might be of help on your '53

Re: dual chamber master
You won't need the adaptor for a 53. A Mustang drum/drum MC should bolt up to the lower two studs. The piston diameter should be a match for the stock unit so the pedal will feel the same.

Re: dual chamber master
At the risk of hijacking this thread, but same subject, is there a dual master set- up available for a 1950 shoebox? Thanks,

Re: dual chamber master
I bought mine from the old Butch's Rod Shop many years ago for my '51, but are now available from Jamco, ECI and probably others. The '49-'51 Ford master cylinder also supports the clutch and brake pedal assembly, so most kits simply relocate the new dual master towards the rear, near the transmission cross member, and connect to the stock pedal through a long HD push rod.

Re: dual chamber master
Thanks Bob, I wondered if anyone would bother casting a dual unit, that strange, for the short '49-'51 application. I'll look into the sources you suggested.

Re: dual chamber master
Howard....I just bought one from ECI. Looks like a real nice unit....called them on the phone and they were very nice to talk to. Reasonable price, complete, nice work. Google them.

When adding a dual cylinder be sure to check that you can obtain full stroke of the master before hooking up the lines, bleeding, etc; otherwise in case of a failure you may not have enough travel for the "good" side to do any effective braking. Take the carpet and padding that may be added later in account too. |

Re: dual chamber master
Also note the port nearest the operating rod is for front brakes.

There are some vehicles that have the rears plumbed to the primary piston/chamber. The larger chamber, if obvious, always goes to the fronts on cars and light trucks, whether primary or secondary.

Re: dual chamber master
Ford actually had to bother casting one for the '67 Econolines, as they had been using the '49 '51 master from when the Econolines were first introduced, then the dual chamber master cylinder was government mandated for the '67 model year. It was the last year for the first version Econoline, and really hard to find a '67 master cylinder now. ..B.

Re: dual chamber master
Barlea, who woulda thought? This is why I participate on this forum. Was a proportioning or residual valves used with or in the Econoline dual master cylinder? Are rebuild parts available for them? Heading for Rhinebeck in a couple of weeks and will keep my eyes open for one of these odd ball units. Thanks,
