Both David Frye and I have had the brake booster/mastercylinder units rebuilt on our '55 Imperials by White Post Restorations in White Post, VA. They are known as the best in brake cylinder rebuilding and give a lifetime warranty. If my memory is correct the total cost was about $ 455. With the brakes being what I perceive as the weakest link in these cars, I considered it money well spent to preserve my investment (and my safety). The'55 brakes are a one year only design and are often not well understood by otherwise capable mechanics.
