62 starfire brake upgrade recap!

I finished installing a dual master cylinder on my dads 62 starfire. I sent the old unit including the power booster and brake rod to the power brake exchange in california. They machined and reconditioned the power booster to except a dual cylinder.I Since I did not figure how wide the new one would be,I had to modify the inner fender well.With some patience I got it to fit.the rebuild cost 235.00 with shipping. I will post some pics soon!

Looks great and it sounds like a fair price for the conversion as well

Nice set up, but instead of 90 degree bends in the tubing you might have used a 90 degree elbow in the master which would then give you a lot more room at the fender liner...
