Has anyone have any knowledge on how to convert original 1934 Ford car brake and clutch pedals to a dual hydraulic master cylinder? Thanks.

If you are a member, and have V8 Times magazine, look for Dave Wilton's ad. Converting to hydraulic brakes on a very old car takes knowledge and experience to be safe. The brakes are not a place to learn what really works.

You can also contact Richard Lacy. He has master cylinder mounting that installs without adding any holes, using your original brake and clutch pedals and bracket as well as pre bent brake lines. Early V8 Garage 1217 Azusa Canyon Rd. West Covina, CA 91790 Ph: 626-338-2282 or earlyV8@aol.com

I would cast a third vote for Richard Lacy. His brake conversions are designed and made very well. Everything is basically a bolt on. Another good way to go is keep the mechanicals. Go through the complete system replacing any worn components, and install Flathead Ted's brake equalizers. If done right, I believe they work as well as the '39-'48 early Ford hydraulic brakes. John
