Title: Floor mounted master cylinder
Post by: EDNY on January 13, 2022, 03:26:01 PM
Now that I have an extra 34 Master frame to set up was wondering if anyone has used one of the 32 Ford master cylinder frame units on a 33-34 Chevy.

Where on the frame do they attach, does the frame need any cutting etc.

My 34 has one of those aftermarket chrome steering columns that lacks sufficient angle because of the current firewall mounted brake brackets.  Would like to install an OEM Chevy (S10) steering column that I have, and to avoid any conflict, just use a frame mounted master cylinder depending on where they are mounted.

Ed I have the chassis mounted master cylinder (designed for a 32 Ford chassis) on my 33.  The key to figuring out where to mount it on the chassis is to make sure the long part of the pedal is parallel to the floor (if that makes sense).  It does have a Corvette Master cylinder.  If you want to PM me we can work out a call time and discuss it on the phone.  Might make it easier to explain.

Tom...the pictures are all I needed...just want to get an idea of where it mounts approximately.  Between your pictures, my 33 frame and the (2) 34 Master frames I have ... I now feel comfortable using the unit.  Glad to hear it was specifically the 32 Ford unit that I'm considering.

Thanks!
