Modern Power Brakes Without Relying on a Vacuum Signal

As much as we all love to drive our hot rods, muscle cars, and classic trucks, there are a few safety aspects that we feel require improvement to handle the demands of today’s traffic, road speeds, and distracted drivers. We want to enjoy our rides and make it to our destination safely, and to do so improvements in lighting, braking, steering, and visibility are tops on our list. Updating your vehicle’s lighting is rather simple, as is making it more visible to other drivers. Steering and braking are a bit more involved, but far from impossible either.

One of the easiest ways to add power brakes to your ride is with one of our compact electric power brake booster and master cylinder kits. Installation is greatly simplified over the traditional large diameter brake vacuum booster that takes up valuable engine bay and firewall real estate. Furthermore, you do not have to worry about your performance modified engine with its aggressive camshaft and not having enough vacuum signal to allow the vacuum brake booster to work properly for power brakes. Installation is simple and the compact components fit almost anywhere, allowing just about any hot rod, classic truck, or muscle car to be equipped with much safer electric power brakes for modern driving safety.

Built with Solid Components Designed to Last

Our compact electric power brake booster and master cylinder combo kit is designed with premium components that will last the life of your ride. The dual port safety-style master cylinder is crafted from aluminum and receives a high polish finish to compliment whatever you have going on under hood. The master cylinder’s 1-3/16-inch bore size easily handles your disc/disc application, including modern multi-piston disc brake calipers. The brake master cylinder mounting ears are slotted, providing a center-to-center mounting distance variance from 3-1/16-inch to 3-7/16-inch, covering most any master cylinder mounting pattern. The brake master cylinder also features an adjustable brake pedal pushrod that is threaded to allow the perfect pedal positioning under your dash. All brake system fluid ports on the master cylinder are industry standard 3/8-24 inverted female flare that take standard 3/16-inch brake lines. No adapters or conversion fittings necessary, providing a cleaner installation and fewer potential leak points.

The 12-volt electric power brake booster is the other half of this dynamic duo and creates an astonishing 2,000 psi of brake fluid line pressure at maximum output to ably handle any braking system. The electric brake booster has a compact footprint that allows it to be mounted just about anywhere (so long as it is lower than the master cylinder) and includes a mounting bracket with rubber isolators for quiet operation. The electric brake booster features an accumulator that stores the pressurized brake fluid, allowing you to safely apply the brakes up to 15 times after power is removed from the unit. This is much greater than the two to three applications a vacuum brake booster provides once the engine is shut off. An integral pressure switch keeps the unit primed and ready for braking action and all wiring with relay is included.

In addition to the electric power brake booster and brake master cylinder, we include the correct residual pressure valves, adjustable brake proportioning valve, master cylinder hard lines, and all the brake lines and fittings you need to completely plumb your disc/disc brake system on your hot rod, muscle car, or classic truck in this kit. Other than ordering your favorite brand of brake fluid and determining the correct flex hoses for your front calipers (if they did not already come with new hoses) this is everything you need for your brake system’s fluid path from the master cylinder to the four corners of your ride.

Installation is a Breeze on Any Vehicle

The compact size of the remote brake booster unit means you can mount it just about anywhere. Measuring just under 7 inches long with a 6-1/4-inch height and 4-1/4-inch width, it will neatly find a home from the engine compartment inner fender area to the frame rails of your vehicle, even all the way in the trunk. All you must do is maintain a mounting location lower than the master cylinder (the pump’s inlet works off gravity from the fluid source in the master cylinder) and provide a high-pressure brake line from the electric brake booster pump unit back to the master cylinder to provide the pressure to the brake components. This line can be a length of hard line from the kit plumbed between the two, or you can install an in the booster outlet and master cylinder inlet ports and use a length of for easier routing for remote installation locations for the brake booster unit. Wiring is a simple matter of connecting the heavy red wire to your battery and the tan wire to a switched 12-volt source (either directly from the ignition switch or an auxiliary ignition switched spot in your fuse box).

The brake master cylinder unit measures in at 9-1/4 inches long, allowing it to mount in most any location, including compact muscle cars with shock towers where a standard dual reservoir master cylinder and vacuum brake booster combination may not fit. Width and height of the brake master cylinder is quite compact as well at 3-3/8 inches and 4-1/8 inches, respectively. Mounting to your firewall or frame crossmember is made easy with slotted mounting ears that allow the brake master cylinder to be mounted to most any two-bolt pattern without modification. The threaded master cylinder pushrod is adjustable from 5-3/4 inch to 6-3/8 inch in total length and includes a standard brake pedal pin eyelet end fitting. We offer a generous line of to adapt to just about any pedal assembly as well. All fluid ports on the master cylinder are standard 3/8-24 inverted flare that use 3/16-inch brake line.

Speedway Brake Residual Valves, Polished

Ever had problems with a spongy pedal or slow, unresponsive brakes? If so, you may need a residual pressure valve installed in your brake line. A redesidual valve acts like a one-way or check valve to maintain brake system pressure to eliminate the problems of a spongy pedal. Installing these valves ensures that you will have a high, firm pedal next time you press the brake pedal.

Our residual pressure valves features a fully polished finish with a 1/8-inch NPT port at each end.

2 PSI Disc Brake Valve

• Included 2 PSI residual valve is installed inline between the master cylinder and disc brake calipers to keep 2 PSI of residual pressure at the caliper after the brake pedal is released.
• If your master cylinder is located below the floorboard, installing a 2 PSI residual valve is highly recommended. If your master cylinder is mounted on the firewall, a residual valve is generally not needed because gravity will provide a natural residual pressure within the brake line.
• Use 2 PSI residual valves for disc brake applications only.

10 PSI Drum Brake Valve

• Included 10 PSI residual valve is installed inline between the master cylinder and drum brake wheel cylinders to keep 10 PSI of residual pressure at the wheel cylinder after the brake pedal is released.
• Use 10 PSI residual valves for drum brake applications only

Dual Outlet Master Cylinder Steel Dual Brake Line Kit
