Title: Re: [FWDLK] brake kits

Hi Dave,

Checked with Stainless Steel Brakes and they do not do a front disc conversion for your Imperial. I had my 1960 Chrysler converted with their kit.

SS Brakes offers a dual master cylinder for Mopars:

See the clearance problem that we had in the MC conversion of my 1960 Chrysler 300-F. I have to use a long wire tie to attach the cover:

One of the options that was available for my car was to use a 1972 Imperial set up. This can be viewed at:

Not sure if this set up will fit a 1960 Imperial. Maybe some of our more knowledgeable members can help.

There are some other discussions re master cylinders on the same web site. Also see:

Good luck in your search to replace your “Totally Incontinent Brakes”.

> The thought of up-grading brakes seems to be on my mind. Last year I had new wheel cyls & shoes for my 60 Imp. Earlier this year I had too replace the master cyl as well, & after all this work I am still not satisfied with the performance of the rebuilt brakes. I am seriously considering retro-fitting the car with -
> 1. duel master cyl
> 2. front disc's
> 3. if possible  rear disc's.
