Need the adapter / push-rod for 67-72 Ford Dual Reservoir Master Cylinder for the Bonus Built. Sac Vintage shows $65 bones. Go to the web an it's $120...... I don't think so !

Anyone have a better source ?

Thanks

E-Dawg-a-saurus.....

 

I got mine from ECI. Don't remember the $$, but I don't recall that it was expensive.

 

Try MP brakes they have an adjustable length pushrod that can be used with manual or power brake dual chamber master cylinders.

 

Thanks,

Good stuff as always...

 

I looked into a dual M/C setup some time ago, and saw they were offering this big ole bracket. I don't see why? Can't you just make the plate that goes over the stock bracket, that the two-bolt M/C is fastened to? Why would you need all this other stuff? What's the big round clamp for?

 

I haven't heard of this idea at all---is there a thread or tutorial somewhere on this site?...I'm planning on changing out the mc on my '54 and the idea of a dual reservoir from a 67-72 sounds kinda appealing...

 

I purchased my Calipers and MC to fit a 1976 Buick Estate Wagon. I made the adapter to mount the MC myself, you can see it in my pictures. For the pushrod I used the orginal one.

 

Exactly! I don't see why the extra bracketry is needed. Is your truck on the road and the brakes working OK?

Excellent Gallery, BTW!

 

The round bracket looks like a steering column floor mount used when you swap from the OEM box?
I don't know for sure since my panel had already been converted when I got it, and I further converted it to hanging pedals, but I suspect the reason for the new bracket is to put the MC fill cap under the floor acess hole? Otherwise filling and checking would be very difficult?

 

I don't know how they justify doubling the price. Is this the same adaptor you were looking at?



It was $65 3 years ago when I purchased it. Steel prices have jumped, but not that much! This adaptor and extension rod works perfect, it steps the cylinder down enough to get the lid off, and spaces it correctly for the access hole. I just check mine from underneath and never cut out the access hole in my new floor pan. For the price I could have made one, but sometimes I take the lazy route.

It might be worth calling them to verify the price.

 

That looks like a slick solution, Scott! What do you mean by "steps the cylinder down"? Does it angle it?

 

Yup !

Thought the web-site was a miss-print. No worries, if you can sell it at that price knock yourself out. I'll fab my own.

 

It doesn't angle the MC - the ends of the "tube" part are angled, so when it's bolted to the crossmember, the middle tube angles down, then the flange the MC mounts on is verticle again so the MC mounts correctly, just about an inch and a half or so lower and out about 2-3 inches from the cross member. Drawing is exaggerated, but basically:

 

Thanks for posting the information Scott. It also looks like it has a slot milled in the tube for push rod clearance and the hole/tube is definitely offset towards the top of the triangular bracket. The bottom of the oval bracket may be as well.

You know, this is something that I can make, I think that I'll give it a shot, as I've been wanting a dual cylinder for safety sake.

I have a new Raybestos MC36367 lined up for this project at $45.34 including shipping through Amazon.com (Corvette 1967-1976, 1" piston).
Other part numbers:
CARDONE 101371
DORMAN M36367
AC DELCO 18M27 (18030269)

Scott if I could ask a favor: Would you be able to provide any dimensions on the offset? I would appreciate it greatly.

Also, do we have any place to store a drawing on this site once I have one done?
Thanks,
Jon

 

Jon, I'll try to get some measurements tonight. It's a pretty basic piece, shouldn't be too hard to fab up. You are right that it has a slot milled in it for the pushrod clearance as well.

I used a mustang MC for a drum/drum system from the early 70's if I remember right. They are cheap and plentiful and pretty much any parts store has them if needed. The old original one I'd always have to go to NAPA and order kits for, with a few days down time.
