Posted by JimG on 7/8/2007, 1:13 pm, in reply to "Re: 63 Falcon brakes" Thanks. One more question: is the brass block strictly a junkyard item, or can it be purchased somewhere? Thanks, Jim --Previous Message--

: Get a dual drum/drum master cylinder

: supplied. You will need to brass
: brake line block which can be

: have a port for the idiot light or
: you can use it for your brake lights

: Metro Mustang sells a new master if

: Hi everyone, I'm new to the board.
:
: I'm helping a friend make a good
: driver of a '63 Falcon that's been
: in her family for over 30 years.
: It's been sitting in a barn for
: about 15 years. The brakes are
: non-operational, and since the
: master cylinder needs replacing
: anyway, I'd like to use a later,
: dual-circuit master cylinder and
: convert the drum brakes to dual
: circuit. I believe this was required
: by law beginning in '67. Does anyone
: know if a later drum brake master
: cylinder will bolt in with no
: modifications? BTW, this particular
: car was wrecked earlier in it's life
: due to master cylinder failure, so
: the dual circuit setup seems like a
: good way to go until we do further
: research on the drum-to-disc
: conversion.

: Thanks in advance,
