Dave Welch shows us how easy it is to upgrade the weak link in our 1947-59 Chevrolet & GMC Pickup braking systems by converting to a dual reservoir master cylinder. BROTHERS kit allows for an easy conversion from the old style single reservoir master to an updated dual reservoir master cylinder without the need to remove or modify the original transmission cross memeber. This popular conversion makes your old truck safer to drive and also gives you the option of running non-power brakes when converting to disc.

Does this dual master work with the original drums front and rear? I have considered the idea of using a battery door on the left side to improve the access. Nicooper works wonders when working under the truck. Nice video thanks.

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 4 года назад

The master we installed on this truck is for a Disc/Drum setup, but you can also get a master that will work with a Drum/Drum setup.

@alexmcconnell1413 3 года назад

How do you check the fluid level (without cutting another hole in the cab floor) once this is installed? I'm assuming the old hole is no longer aligned with the new MC.

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 3 года назад

On some installations we've used a remote reservoir, but on simpler ones like this we use a small mirror to look up and over the edge. The kit comes will a small plastic bottle with a curved spout that makes it easy to fill.

@willefixit 5 лет назад

Part number depends on the year of your truck? What year is it? Also, if you call our Customer service department at 800-977-2767 we can easily set you up with all you'll need, including the master cylinder so there won't be any guesswork.

We actually don't have a video for that. A while back we did a video talking about the optional boosters that "could" be mounted on the firewall, but we never actually did that install. We'll add that one to the list of upcoming vids. Thanks!

@tonymartinez7426 4 года назад

Do you need a break booster also when converting to disk breaks or can you just use the cylinder? I have a 48 chevy fleetline aerosedan can't find any videos. Please help

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 4 года назад

As long as you use the proper master cylinder you DO NOT have to use a booster when converting to Disc Brakes.

@jeffhuffman9893 2 года назад

Added this kit to my ‘59 Apache. The question I have is in regard to the brake lines. Originally there is one line to the front and on to the back. When looking at the proportioning valve, do I need a single line to the right front and a single line to the left front? Or can I us the original method on the front?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 2 года назад

You can do either. If you choose the original style where a single line splits into two, then just block off the 2nd hole in the Proportioning Valve.

@filmandsong05 2 года назад

thanks man

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 2 года назад

@ericruiz2174 3 года назад

How do you go from one line out the master cyl to 2 lines, one for front and one for the rear brakes? Im sorry but im a 101 54 chev student....

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 3 года назад

You would use a proportioning valve or a distribution block that has a single inlet and dual outlets.

@PacemakerandButtons 4 года назад

What’s better? The replacement / install booster on the firewall or going this route? Seems like a lot of less work doing this. I have a 59 Apache 3100 NAPCO

We sell the lid as an accessory. Just ask for it when you order the master setup.

@ericruiz2174 3 года назад

Ca i use that dual master cyl on my 54 chevy with drum brakes in all wheels? Thanks

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 3 года назад

Yes you can, you just have to order the proper master that is meant for Drum/Drum setups.

@filmandsong05 2 года назад

proportion valve for disc brakes? i won’t have discs up front, just drums, do i still need the p valve?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 2 года назад

You only need a metering valve with drums, or at least a proper master cylinder that will hold about 2psi of residual pressure.

@ckieffer67 11 месяцев назад

Where can a I get a better fluid reservoir than the plastic one that came with the kit

@shredfast4819 4 года назад

Question.... do you need a combination/ proportioning valve if I do a drum/ drum set up?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 4 года назад

If you run a Drum/Drum you would need a different master altogether. The volume coming from the front and rear sectors of a disc master are completely different than the volumes from a drum/drum master. You SHOULD also run a residual pressure check valve too, but it's not 100% necessary.

@shredfast4819 4 года назад

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Awesome, thanks for the advice. if I do decide to run the residual check valve, where should it be installed? and will I need just one? or will l need 2, one on the rear brakes and one for the front brakes?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 4 года назад

@@shredfast4819 You install it after the Master but before the wheel cylinders. On a drum/drum setup you have to provide residual pressure for both the front and rear. Typically it will come as a single block with two inputs and two outputs and it will look very similar to a proportioning valve.

@davidhull5758 10 месяцев назад

Dave I have a question: 1. why did you go with a Corvette master cylinder and grind off part of the mount instead of using a Chevy mc? Was it because of the remote fill? I need a drum/drum with remote fill for a 1954 Chevy 3600 truck, can someone give me a part number? Everything I see is either disc/drum or disc/disc. Thanks! Great video!

@garyhelms1889 3 года назад

Question: I installed the dual master cylinder on my 54 Chevy. I have drum/drum brakes and ordered the parts accordingly. There appears to be no kit for the drum/drum scenario. I ordered the master cylinder and the mounting bracket separate. My question is do I need to use the front or back part of the cylinder specifically for the front or back? I my case I used the front cylinder, closest to the front of the truck, for the front drum brakes. Does it matter if that was switched?? Next question, I simply put in a T block about 5 inches off the front port so I could split the line and go to each front wheel. Was I supposed to use some kind of valve to ensure even braking pressure to the front wheels???

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 3 года назад

Did you order the kit from BROTHERS? If so, we do have different Master Cylinders for Disc.Drum and Drum/Drum combos. So yes, the front of the master goes to the front and the rear goes to the rear.

@garyhelms1889 3 года назад

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Yes, I ordered the master cylinder from Brothers. Like I said there is no kit per say. I had to order the master cylinder as one item and the bracket as one item. The other question is a T block OK to split the front cylinder into two lines for each front wheel or did I need a proportioning valve of some sort? Again I have drum/drum brakes. DO I NEED A RESIDUAL VALVE or does the master cylinder have built in residual valves? I have drum/drum brakes. I didn't see a residual valve offered in the brake upgrade area.

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 3 года назад

@@garyhelms1889 The "T" block is fine for splitting the left/right sides. Our drum/drum master will hold some residual pressure for your brakes, but if you find that the shoes are backing too far off the drums, then you can always add a drum/drum proportioning valve which typically holds more residual pressure than the master will (around 2-4psi).
