    I am looking at a frame mount brake booster and duel chamber master cylinder, from Speedway, for my '29 Willys, but have not yet decided on the front brakes, Disk or Drum. Will the booster/ duel chamber Master cylinder setup work on either one? Thanks

    Depends on what, if any, residual valves are built into the master. I would call Speedway.
     
  3. Inquire if they have a disc/disc, or a disc/drum master...they are a bit different in the bore, etc. Also let them know if you are running a power booster, or not...probably don't need to with the light weight of the car. One last thing, for master cylinders below floor level, you do need those residual valves, either in-line, or built into the master. They prevent fluid bleedback to a MC that may be lower than the calipers, or wheel cylinders.
    Make sure you provide good access for filling/adding fluid.
