brake m cyl
 

Anybody know where I maybe can find a master cyl or repair kit for my
54 merc Monterey with power brakes? Nobody seems to list one for power brks. Have found an old booster/cyl but want to rebuild before installing.
Sent my original setup out for rebuilding but ended up having to junk it.
Wanting to keep it original.

In 54 I think there is no special master for you car.

I know for the 55-57 TBirds, there was no special master for power brakes.

Could it be he has a Treadelvac?

red carr,
A photo or two of the parts you have will help answer your question.

Thks,
It is a treadle vac and the m cyl reservoir mounts crosswise to the cyl/booster.
Weird looking devil.

Several years ago my friends OT car had a treadle vac fail. I think even though its the m/c, you might start with the TV guys. My friend elected to change to a more modern vacuum booster and dual circuit master.

These guys are at least west coast.

Yeh, Alaska Jim, I am clear over in Wasilla.

Wish it was that simple. Kanters kit is for treadle vac part not the m cyl

Boy Toby, that is one fine looking ford. Had one that color. Only problem was, everybody kept wanting to buy it. That was in early 50s

red carr,, I live off the palmer/ Wasilla hwy, near the mattress ranch. I haven't found any source for your master cyl yet. when my back is a little better maybe we could get together and take a look at what you need. if you just need a master cyl. and you still have your original there options to have it sleeved with stainless like a lot of people do with the corvette stuff. have you tried Green Sales? they sell a lot of old obsolete hard to find parts. http://www.greensalescompany.com/

55-57 Chevies used the treadlevac which appears to be similar,if not the same, as your Merc. Maybe another avenue to try.
