Default Furd Master cylinders...

Brand new at Mac Auto around $70 foreign made and $90 for US manufactured.... my catalogue is old and prces may have increased but they are readily available for the Ford.

The bracket is very different .... but not impossible to fabricate.

On the Ford CMP the master cyl. is mounted by bolting to and through the transmission cross member...... on a Chev the engine crossmember would be seriously in the way. It would probably be just as easy to use a new mid 1960 GM van mastr cyl. with two seperate compartment and take advantage of the split system...... and I would fabricate the mounting bracket to bolt onto the existing CMP Chev bracket......

Nothing a good hot rodder could not fix in a Saturday afternoon.

Checking out Hot Rodding magazine on the news stands will give a builder plenty of ideas from after market suppliers of brake system how much they charge and from the pcitures how to build them...flat stock and a welder and drill press....ok some grinding and filing !!!!!

Defenitely not the stuf you can walk in to Napa or Canadian tire and ask for at the counter !!!!!

Bob
