Nice fab work on the headers!! Mig or tig on the joints?

[Unkl Ian]

Did you make the 90 degree mount for the master cylinder?
Use the stock parts from a Dodge Tradesman van?
Or buy a kit from the aftermarket?

[41sled]

heres what it looks like under neith...I really have to give my Pop credit for this..He did all the math and hands on... I just stood their in amazement....

He took 2 long reqtangle tubes, and welded it to the body... He made 2 brakets and welded to the long tubing..

We had to mount the brake booster to the side, because of the dash, and even then it was in the way about 1 1/2 inch.. So i mounted the dash a bit down and it works perfectly.

He bolted the Booster to the angled braket and leveled it off...


To be continuted....

Forgive me, if its sparce or have incorrect info.. Was sick for 2 days with the flu while he finished it up.. He Hand fabed so when you hit the break, the tube turns and presses on the booster..

Every thing works in amazement ....

Muahahhaaahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa



steve- after finishing it all up... this is the current firewall

or do it my way and save 500.... what ever floats your boat...

[Rude Dude]

Just wanted to say beautiful work on pedal and headers, keep us posted. I always enjoy it when someone fabs thier own stuff.

[fab32]

If your Dad didn't have a Kugel brake / master cyl. mt to copy he did an amazing job. Yours looks exactly like the one I got from them for my '32.

Frank

[tucker]

It just that your way looks alot like the Kugel way. From the hardware-all the way to the extra holes for alternate master cylinder options.

[fab32]

Yea! I also just noticed that the pedal is an exact copy of the Kugel unit also. Right down to the B that has written on it with a magic marker. They use that to designate the long or short pedal length. AMAZING

Frank

[2tall2beahotrodder]

Yea, i know he copyed some design from the blue prints that i saw... Probably their design. but he did all the work...

[Fat ASS Whitewalls]

Looks good. Question, How do you put brake fluid in it?

[2tall2beahotrodder]

Good question.. Guess we'll have to take it off the dash to get at it..
