IML: Early 50's Power Brakes

[Joe Amos <Newportnavaho@xxxxxxx>]

Today's post on the 53 and 51 power brakes piqued my interest.
I have a 54 that I am getting back on the road after more than a 
decade's slumber.  I have a question for Mr. Gustafson, or anyone else 
that can help:  What source did you have for rebuilding, or getting 
parts to rebuild the booster.  My car is like yours, and is the last 
year for the under floor units that are separate.  I have not found a 
source for these boosters.  I have removed both MC and the booster and 
am planning on using the system sans assist.  I do have the 54 FSM, and 
would take a stab at going over the booster myself.  Also does anyone 
know where the brake distribution block for these cars can be obtained.  
This one looks like it has been soldered or JB Welded long ago.  I would 
not want to depend on it, so I would like to get a replacement.

Thanks to all folks who make this such an interesting list.
