New brake booster on the Caddy pictures

[Willowbilly3]

I decided to replace the jurrasic treadle-vac on my 56 Caddy with something more modern, and a lot less expensive. I started with this ebay 7 inch dual diaphragm booster.

I started with a couple pieces of angle iron.



Ground a couple notches in the original bracket to clear the new booster.





The pieces tacked together.









Trimmed and welded with added bar across the top.

The bracket bolted in place.





Test fitting the booster and master cylinder. I used a new m/c I had left over from a 62 Ford Galaxy convert I had years ago. Prolly go to dual system at some point.





I have it all plumbed in and the longer pushrod made, too dark for pictures when I got done.

Beauty part of that is, not having to crawl under the hood to the firewall to add fluid. [cl
