Re: [FWDLK] Brake conversion



I put a master cylinder and power brake booster into my '58 Windsor. They came out of a mid-eighties Mirada. They were not a perfect bolt-in, but nearly. I just had to use a power drill to enlarge two of the four holes (going by memory now twelve years ago) that hold the booster to the firewall. I hated to cut my sheetmetal, but figured the holes are always covered whether using the new m/c+booster or the original un-boosted m/c, so it didn't really matter.

I met a fellow at a local mopar cruise-in and he had a 60 Windsor. He had installed the MC and power brake unit from a 75 Dart and he said it bolted right in.

I know the pattern is the same as far back as '62, and I think
further back yet, without regard to the body style.
