So here's what I ended up with so far. I like the routing a lot more on this setup since I don't have the weird angles of the E body proportioning valve I had before sending tubes everywhere. Managed to keep a cleaner setup that follows the fenders a little tighter. Need to get some clips or...

Planning on it the next time I work on it, which will probably be Friday. Looks like I've still got a drip on at least one front brake line, so going to borrow the garage while the wife is at work so I can wrench in the shade with my little window A/C unit as well.

So to double back to this and give an update, I ended up going with the early Viper master cylinder I linked above. I did have to modify the 4 bolt to 2 bolt adapter I bought to enlarge the center bore though. Needed to increase it about 1/4" overall diameter if I remember correctly. Also had...

Huh, never heard of them before, but they have quite the catalog. Definitely going to save the site for future reference, thanks!

As the title suggests, does anyone out there sell single brake lines and not full kits? I'm looking at doing some updates on my 67 Dart to get it somewhat closer to stock brake line routing on the front end, but I don't need all the lines that come in the kits. My passenger side line is still...

Good to know! I'll try to find your thread and take a look. I was a little concerned the long tube sticking out might cause extra loading on the bore of the master as it would not pivot to account for the minor arc the rod actually travels in due to pedal geometry, but I guess if the stroke is...

The early Viper master cylinders are also kind of tempting as they would match the 2 bolt adapter pattern, are right side exit, are super compact like the Neon/Breeze ones (maybe they are actually the same with just a different reservoir, guess I should check numbers), and are very affordable...

Found another Toyota one that looks interesting. Has a 4 bolt pattern as well and looks like maybe top and bottom ports. One picture I've found shows senders of some sort in the bottom and bushings in the top, might be able to swap the bushings to the bottom...

Very interesting. I'll have to see if I can find some more specs on those Toyota ones. The Neon/Breeze ones look pretty nice too. Looks like left/right ports as an option and certainly an appealing price. The right side exit might not be as bad if I relocate the splitter valve down low instead...

I think I saw the same video. A bit off topic, but electric power assist is pretty easy to add nowadays as well, just in the column instead of the rack. You can put an inline assist on the steering column and with a 12v feed you get power steering with no hydraulics or having to figure out how...

Yeah, I'm definitely not discounting the idea of the kits. They are nice combos for sure and have proven to work well for people. I'm just not sure i can make the left exit porting work for me without redoing a lot of other stuff. I figure I don't mind redoing more of my brake system and...

The more I look at my whole setup the more I debate updating my proportioning valve as well just to clean things up. I have no idea what it is actually off of and can't really seem to find a match for it. Need to see if I can find some part numbers on it I guess. The way it actually routes...

Yeah, the push rod is the main thing I worry about when using anything that isn't Mopar at least, though I think I could probably also make a new one to use on something else if I really had to. I have seen that FWD thing as well but not sure I understand it either unless it has something to do...

Thanks! I'll have to measure mine the next chance I get. Some of those Toyota ones look pretty interesting. Lots of different options on ports including some then even pointed up, which could make it easier to keep my proportioning valve location. Not sure I really care what it might come from...

I might be able to move it, but I'd have to redo the whole setup at that point with a new master and a new bracket most likely. Was hoping I could just find a new brake master to work around it. Got some good ideas from this thread though, will have to go out and do some measuring. I think...

Here are some pictures of my setup. I followed a design someone else had in the T56 thread down in the Hemi swap forum. I liked this design more because it actually mounts to the pedal box on the inside of the car. I welded a tab on the side of the box where the brake master bolts in. I was...

Yeah, I found something like that kit before, but I'm not sure the left side exit of the ports will work for me. It does look narrower then my current cast iron one, but not sure it would be enough. Tried checking the Wilwood site, but the only ones I found with right side ports seemed to have...

I've got a 67 Dart I did a 5.7 Hemi swap in many years ago that has been trucking along well, but seems to have a recurring issue with the master cylinder leaking on the interior at the firewall. The first time it happened I just pulled it out, disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled it and it...

So I did a little disassembly and some digging and found something rather interesting. Based on the casting number on the back of one of my calipers at least, it appears they are 71 E body. What is more interesting to me is that the spindle I have appears to be the smaller diameter drum size...

Yeah, I think I'm just going to have to suck it up and tear my setup down to the spindle to get a better idea of what is going on. I technically have the two piece rotor setup, but I'm not sure that really says much about my car. It was such a mismash of parts when I bought it I think they...

Looks like maybe I was checking the wrong bearings. The outside bearings I think are common between them, but the inside drum bearings are smaller shaft size than the disc. I looked in the Timken catalog to see if they made a bearing that would adapt between the two, but doesn't look like it...

From what I can find on RockAuto and checking bearing and seal sizes, it seems like they all have common shaft/IDs, so I think I should be able to put a drum hub on a disc brake spindle. Seems like hubs are cheap enough, so might be worth a try. If it works out rotors and calipers are $50 each...

Well, as it turns out it looks like something like this might already exist to some degree. InvincibleExtremes sells a bracket that lets you use a stock drum brake hubs with Mustang rotors and calipers: Disc brake conversion using stock drum hubs and spindles 2 piston, 4 piston or 6 The big...

That's a pretty piece, but looks custom machined I'm thinking. I think I found the individual listing for them as well: Mopar Billet Aluminum Hub Found these on an old for sale ad here. Guessing they are probably still SBP since they are A body, but I've found B body ones for sale as well...

It looks like front drum brakes have a separate drum that doesn't have the hub in it, at least from a few pictures I have seen. I can't find a picture of a front corner with the drum off though. I would wonder if maybe I could use the drum hub and find an appropriate disc to go over it, maybe...

Like the title implies, does anyone make a kit that converts the original style hub/rotor combo part into two separate parts like modern cars that sandwich the rotor between the wheel and the hub? It would make rotor replacement far easier since you wouldn't have to deal with wheel bearings...

Does anyone make an aftermarket parking brake handle for the 67 Dart? My stock plastic one has been broken since the day I bought the car and I'm getting a bit tired of it digging into my hand every time I have to take the brake off. One half of the tee broke off, so it's even harder to twist...

LOL! That's a good one. I suppose another alternative would be something with a smaller diameter body that would pull the ports closer to the centerline of the master cylinder. That would give me a little more room to get the lines bent in time to go over the clutch master. I was initially...

So I've swapped my car over to a 5.7 Hemi and T56 6 speed and am having an issue with my master cylinder. The slave cylinder I put in for the clutch is close enough to the brake master that the lines out of the brake master just slightly rub on the clutch master. I can't bend them any sooner...

I've got a set of E body calipers at least on my 67 Dart (were there when I bought it). They fit fine, but the location of the port for the brake line isn't really ideal. I found out they were E body when I went to buy new lines for them (tried to move them from the front of the spindle to the...
