1960 Chrysler New Yorker Dual Brake Master Cylinder Conversion

[TomVintage]

What all must be done to do the conversion?
Does anyone know where I can find a dual master cylinder that has the same bolt pattern as the original single cylinder (I am on the vintage side and can't do as much as when I was younger) ?
My brakes failed backing out of the garage (that was zero fun).

My two cents: that single pot will serve you well for years. No need to change it.

If you do, however, do it correctly: change all the brake lines and add a correct proportioning valve. Adding a dual MC, but having the lines go two-into-one doesn't change a thing. I say this because I've seen it done.

Thanks. That sounds great.

he used a manual master cyl for a 66 drum drum chrysler newport, added an inline brake light switch, and some other fabbing. i will get pics but not for a week or so.
the manual master cyl was used because of its size for fitment under the booster.
i will pick his brains some more and get him to write it down...........

This is from my 64 880, guessing it's the same as the 60. I took the rear line just bent it up put in a union and made a new line to connect into the master cylinder. Where it came from the original 3-way union that fed the front and back, I just put in a flare plug on the outlet that had fed the rear brakes. Master cylinder was 67 Chrysler with drum brakes.
