Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train Stock '49 Chev Sedan.. want good brakes

What's the cheapest way to upgrade the current brake system? I noticed the dual booster claims their for disc/drum or disc/disc.. anything out there for drum/drum?

Thx.

Greetings . . .

The Filling Station does a dual conversion that bolts right in the stock location. They can set it up for drum/drum:

regards,

Lokar makes a power boster/tandum master Cyl too, but it only works on the Powerglide car.

Then; all you need is to find some 51 or newer drums & backing plates & your Bendix all the way around.

Many have used a 70s master Cyl. & boster and mounting it on the firewall.

Just going to the Bendix system is really all you need and is the cheapest route. Keeps the original look too.

Good luck.

I keep hearing the term "Bendix" .. what is that?
