Hot Rods Tired of Model A Mechanical Brakes...Time to Update to 1946!

Got me a set of 46 front and rear drums for my 30 Sedan.

Questions:
1. Good place to buy brake shoes, cylinders & springs etc.
2. It came with a single circuit Master Cylinder...What's a good Dual Circuit Cylinder for these?
3. Any pictures of setups? (Behind Battery Box / Passenger side using the original cross bar.)

I had my shoes relined locally and arced to the drum. Wheel cylinders are Raybestos bought on rockauto.com I am using a 1968 drum/drum mustang master cylinder mounted on the passenger side under the floor. It uses the stock linkage and crossbar to actuate it and a custom mount to mount it to the stock crossmember. You'll have to look at my build thread for pictures.

 

BUMP.

If I was going to attack your project I would begin by checking out the heavy duty battery box that incorporate a master cylinder mount. Be warned that I have read some of the manufacturers use metal that is too thin and they flex. You could either find who makes a good one or use the design to build one of your own.
