This
is a complete bolt in kit that uses a modern power booster and
dual circuit master cylinder mounted to the firewall using the factory firewall access plate opening. It includes a new brake pedal that swings
from a higher location (looks like it could be original too). This modern
GM booster and master cylinder give a significantly improved braking
feel and power while adding safety through the dual circuit system.
This can be used with factory drums, disc/ drum or disc/ disc. Let me know what brakes you have after ordering and I will send the correct proportioning valve.
It
will have the pedal feel of a modern car- minimal effort required with a
positive and firm feel. No more soft or sloppy pedal!
Installation
is fairly straightforward- no cutting required, this kit doesn't
involve anything permanent that can't be undone in a couple hours! You
have to remove the driver side firewall access plate, master cylinder, and then this kit bolts in.
Two brake lines are included although the included lines will require some finesse by the installer. One goes from rear proportioning valve to the original junction block mounted to the
driver side frame rail in place of the line that originally lead to the
front brakes. The other brake line goes
from the front of the new proportioning valve to the factory T junction
block located near the front driver side wheel and feeds the front
brakes. Installation time is about 4 hours.
This ONLY works on 1953 Buick Super and Roadmaster models, NOT the Special model.
This
kit comes with everything including proportioning valve, brake lines,
and hardware! All you need is brake fluid and a port on your intake to
plug into vacuum.
