65 Mustang power brake conversion
I have a 65 convertible, automatic, 289. It has stock drum brakes all around and the factory single bowl master cylinder. We are redoing the power steering and suspension and while it is apart I picked up used front disc brake and spindle assemblies (same spindles as mine) and a power booster from a 66 Mustang. Fortunately the stuff was in excellent condition and cheap ($150). Unfortunately I now realize that my styled-steel wheels are incompatible with the disc calipers (clearance issue). Also the power booster will not allow a dual reservoir master cylinder (clearance again - with the shock tower).
So I just want to go with the existing drum brakes but add a power booster and a dual reservoir MC. I read that a 7" power booster will allow enough space for a dual MC. Has anyone had any experience with this 7" booster set up I found on ebay from Nelcohotrods?
