I am ready to purchase a master cylinder/brake booster (disc/drum) system for my f1. I want to use a frame mounted bolt in unit. I am looking at systems from Classic Performance Parts or ECI. Anyone have a suggestion or experience with these systems? Any advice would be appreciated.

Ralph Lisena runs ECI and they are very helpful with any concerns you may have. Correct systems/products, troubleshooting, etc., they are there to help. I have not had any contact with Classic Perf so I can't speak for them.

I've used ECI products on three of my cars, 36 Ford Fordor, 41 Ford pickup and a 53 Chevy pickup. Call and talk to Ralph, good people to work with, won't sell you anything you don't need.

Have ECI products on my car. Along with MC and booster came all the advice and instruction that I needed.

I used a Chassis Engineering adapter to adapt a Pinto double diaphragm booster to the original
pedals on my 46 and a No Limit Engineering Corvette M/C converted to remote fill, everything mounts under the floor boards. It was for Disc/drum set up. All bolt in. Can send PICs if anyone wants to see them. Don't know how to post them, sorry.

I have an ECI M/C on my '41. Called ole Ralph and in the conversation he said if one brake line was shorter than the other, the brake with the shortest line would operate first. Go figure. Do your own research as I have found most after market companies don't really know much more than the average Joe. I finally got the brakes to work correctly but not because of any info from ECI.
