Re: [Chrysler300] Dual Outlet Master Cylinder

[mwl1967@xxxxxxx]

John,
        I've got 4 wheel discs on  my K and am not real happy without the 
power assist. I've been told I can run  just the front circuit through the 
booster which would subsequently assist the  unboosted rear circuit but I;m not 
quite sure I believe it nor have I tried  it.
 
        There is a company offering  a dual remote booster /  slave assembly, 
it is essentially two small units  mounted in tandem and ran around $700 
bucks or so. If I recall it was too large  to mount under one fender and I'd have 
to separate them and put one under each  fender.  The other option if you can 
find the info would be to try the  volvo unit you mentioned... do you have any 
details? A service manual?  Size?
 
        I would like to try one of  these options soon. The other issue for 
me would be to figure out how to run it  with an engine that's only making 
7inches of vacuum at idle.
 
    FYI for anyone updating brakes in my opinion would  be to go to discs in 
the front and leave the rear drums alone. Sure the vented /  slotted rotors 
look cool but any of the kits using the '79-'85 GM rear calipers  should be 
avoided like the plague...IMO. Also, the Wilwood kits use calipers  that don't 
have dust seals on the pistons and hence aren't exactly meant for  longevity if 
used regularly on the street.

Along  with Carl's request, has anyone successfully converted a 300-J or 
300-K with  the remote booster to a dual-circuit master cylinder?  

I  looked into doing this at one point, and the one solution I came up with  
that would retain power brakes is to use the original booster for the  front 
circuit, and add a second remote booster for the rear  brakes.  The remote 
booster does certainly complicate the issue  of going dual circuit.  

A 1968 Volvo 122S wagon I once  owned had such a booster that handled both 
circuits - I might have to consider  locating one of those., but they are scarce.
