Posted by don on 7/8/2007, 1:18 pm, in reply to "Re: 63 Falcon brakes" Check the various forums and try craigslist also. They are around. Bracket arrangement varies according to the type of car but the block is the same. --Previous Message--

It used to be available in older local parts houses but chances are you will not find them now. I have not been able to since most of the houses have closed due to the presence of the big franchises.

: can it be purchased somewhere?

: 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,
