Wow, Tony, thank you so much for posting that! I went to the crossram site, and I am so jazzed -- there are so many pictures of 60 Chryslers getting all kinds of improvements.

 

Do you know if the stainlesssteelbrakes is better than the AAJ conversion?

 

Thanks so much,

Hi Dave,

Checked with Stainless Steel Brakes and they do not do a front disc conversion for your Imperial. I had my 1960 Chrysler converted with their kit.

SS Brakes offers a dual master cylinder for Mopars:

See the clearance problem that we had in the MC conversion of my 1960 Chrysler 300-F. I have to use a long wire tie to attach the cover:

One of the options that was available for my car was to use a 1972 Imperial set up. This can be viewed at:

Not sure if this set up will fit a 1960 Imperial. Maybe some of our more knowledgeable members can help.

There are some other discussions re master cylinders on the same web site. Also see:

Good luck in your search to replace your ?Totally Incontinent Brakes?.

The thought of up-grading brakes seems to be on my mind. Last year I had new wheel cyls & shoes for my 60 Imp. Earlier this year I had too replace the master cyl as well, & after all this work I am still not satisfied with the performance of the rebuilt brakes. I am seriously considering retro-fitting the car with -
1. duel master cyl
2. front disc's
3. if possible  rear disc's.
1&2 should not be a problem, but what will fit the rear axle disc brake wise????.Any impute would be appreciated.
