I'm getting close to decision time on the Johnny Hangover special ('30 Model A Truck) for the power plant. I'm weighing my options and still on the fence about Running the Banger motor. Now, my question is: If I have the stock drivetrain in the car (4 cyl & stock transmission) & I run Juice brakes... What do I do for master cylinder mounting? I'm prepared to make anything I need, I'm just wondering if theres a good way to do it and see how some of you have accomplished this.... Thank you BYC
Real Hot Rods have 3 pedals Toad! I'm just kidding.... I checked out what you have quite closly and I like it, I'm just trying to figure out how to keep the clutch mechanism there & still be able to stuff a master cylinder in there some where... BYC
Try these guys for a kit. http://www.clingsaftermarket.com/index.asp This kit will bolt into an A frame without even having to drill a single hole!! I think most people just use a V8 master cylinder bolted to the crossmember, with a bracket welded to the bottom of the original pedal to line the plunger up with the pedal. I'm not to sure as i'm still running the original mechcanicals! Post a message on here www.ahooga.com. You should get a good reply there.
I've seen homemade bracketry to mount A pedals on a B-gearbox and I know specialty ford parts used to sell a variety of brackets for converting from mechanical to juice brakes. I USED to have a catalog but can't get ahold of anyone when I call the #...
The Early V8 shop in Covena, has all the stuff to do the job right. The brakets are cool and neat and all looks like a stock setup.--TV
